People, look east. The time is near
Of the crowning of the year.
Make your house fair as you are able;
Trim the hearth and set the table.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Guest, is on the way.
Stars, keep the watch.
When night is dim
One more light the bowl shall brim,
Shining beyond the frosty weather,
Bright as sun and moon together.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Star, is on the way.
Angels, announce
With shouts of mirth
Christ who brings new life to earth.
Set every peak and valley humming
With the word the Lord is coming.
People, look east and sing today:
Love, the Lord, is on the way.
