The Boar’s Head Carol

From Heaven High I Come to You
Very slow and dignified
From heaven high I come to you, To bring you tidings, strange and true.
Glad tidings of great joy I bring, Where of I now will say and sing.
from The English Hymnal,
The boar’s head in hand bear I Be decked with bays and rose mary;
And I pray you my masters merry be; Quotestis in convívio.
Ca put a pridé fero Reddens laudes Dómino.
Angels, from the Realms of Glory
Angels, from the realms of glory, Wing your flight o’er all the earth,
Ye, whosang creation’s story, Now proclaim Messiah’s birth;
Come and worship, come and worship, Worship Christ, the new born King.
from Christmas Carols and Hymns for School and Choir,

Martin Luther Old German Melody Attributed to Martin Luther
To you this night is born a Child Of Mary, chosen Mother mild;
This little Child, of lowly birth, Shall be the joy of all the earth.

The boar’s head as I understand Is the rarest dishin all this land,
Which is thus be decked with agay gar land, Let us servírecánti co.
Shepherds, in the field abiding, Watching o’er your flocks by night,
God with man is now residing; Yonder shines the infant light;

Glory to God in highest Heav’n, Who unto us His Son hath giv’n!
While angels sing with pious mirth A glad New Year to all the earth.
f Our steward hath provided this In honor of the King of bliss,
Which on this day to be served is, In Reginénsiátrio.
Sages, leave your contemplations, Brighter visions beam afar;
Seek the great Desire of nations, Ye have seen His natal star;

Saints before the altarbending, Watching long in hope and fear,
Suddenly the Lord, descending, In His temple shall appear;
