All This Time
William Walton
Words from The
Early English Carols
All this time this song is best: Verbum caro factum est.
This night there is a child yborn
That sprang out of Jesse's thorn;
We must sing and say thereforn
All this time this song is best: Verbum caro factum est.
Jesus is the childes name,
And Mary mild is his dame;
All our sorrow shall turn to game:
All this time this song is best: Verbum caro factum est.
It fell upon high midnight:
The stares shone both fair and bright;
The angels sang with all their might,
All this time this song is best: Verbum caro factum est.
Now kneel we down on our knee
And pray we to the Trinity
Our help, our succour for to be;
All this time this song is best: Verbum caro factum est;
Verbum caro, Verbum caro, Verbum caro factum est.
