Lyrics A New Year Carol - Benjamin Britten , St. Paul's Cathedral Choir , Simon Johnson

Here we bring you water
From the well so clear
For to worship God with
This happy New Year
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew
The water and the wine
The seven bright gold hooves
And the bugles that do shine
See the reign of fair maid
With gold upon her toe
Open you the west door
And turn the old year o
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew
The water and the wine
The seven bright gold hooves
And the bugles that do shine
See the reign of fair maid
With gold upon her chin
Open you the east door
And let the new year in
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew
The water and the wine
The seven bright gold hooves
And the bugles that do shine
