Verse 1
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
Verse 2
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
Verse 3
Stars
Keep the watch when night is dim
One more light the bowl shall brim
Shining beyond the frosty weather
Bright as the sun and moon together
People look east and sing today
Love
The star
Is on the way
Verse 4
Angels announce with shouts of mirth
Him 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
