English Traditional feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge & Stephen Cleobury - Herefordshire Carol (Arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams) Lyrics

Lyrics Herefordshire Carol (Arr. Ralph Vaughan Williams) - Sir Stephen Cleobury , Choir of King's College, Cambridge , English Traditional



This is the truth sent from above,
The truth of God, the God of love:
Therefore don't turn me from your door,
But hearken all, both rich and poor.
The first thing which I do relate
Is that God did man create,
The next thing which to you I'll tell,
Woman was made with man to dwell.
Then, after this, 'twas God's own choice
To place them both in Paradise,
There to remain, from evil free,
Except they ate of such a tree.
But they did eat, which was a sin,
And thus their ruin did begin.
Ruined themselves, both you and me,
And all of their posterity.
Thus we were heirs to endless woes,
Till God the Lord did interpose,
And so a promise soon did run,
That he would redeem us by his Son.
