The Greenville Carol

LYRICS (by Michael Yost) I saw the white hart in the wood That hid between each white birch tree I saw a virgin kind and good Who bore my Savior unto me The ice is on the stream and rock And lo the spruce is greening still The sun is spread in stars of glass Throughout the snow that blows at will See too the green against the white Upon that moss within the brook Look at the water thick with cold And hear the crying of the rook Two falcons spread their pinions wide Upon the beams of winter light That slant across the mountain's backs And glide obliquely out of sight The small birds chatter in the cold And pour their song on frozen air While foxes leave their silence tacks Within the group of birches there Think on those Holy Innocents Caressed by lance and knife and sword Who shed life's blood in place of Him Who was the Father's Holy Word Think too on Stephen first to die Whose head was broken with a stone And pray for grace who stood thus by And witnessed each fresh broken bone For love of pleasure, pride, and ease We each have shared the common fall But Jesu made His flesh our own Redeeming us, redeeming all Pale wintry sun, rise up, rise soon And meet this morning with the moon I saw thee last year meet her there Pale and naked, pale and bare (Music by Peter Yost)
