Mercer Singers, Family Weekend 2010 - To Him We Sing

Mercer Singers Family Weekend performance, October 2, 2010
Dr. Stanley L. Roberts, Conductor

To Him We Sing, 15th Century Carol, arr. Robert H. Young

A babe is born all of a maid,
To bring salvation unto us.
To Him we sing both night and day;
Veni creator Spiritus (Come, Creator Spirit).

At Bethlehem that blessed place,
The Child of Bliss, now born was He.
And Him to serve, God give us grace;
O lux beata Trinitas (O Trinity of blessed light).

There came three kings out of the East,
To worship the King that is so free,
With gold and myrrh ad frankincense:
A solus ortus cardine (Coming from the East).

The angels came down with one cry,
A fair song that night sung they
In worship of that Child:
Gloria tibi Domine (Glory to Thee, O Lord)..

I absolutely loved singing this song with my choir, and this was just done beautifully. Very nostalgic.
