Lyrics:
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. Furrows, be glad. Though earth is bare, One more seed is planted there: Give up your strength the seed to nourish, That in course the flower may flourish. People, look East and sing today: Love, the Rose, 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 to man and beast Him who cometh from the East. 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.
