Britten: A Ceremony of Carols / Friday Afternoons

Lyrics 

Here we bring new water
 from the well so clear,
 for to worship God with
 this happy New Year.
 Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,
 the water and the wine,
 the seven bright gold wires
 and the bugles that do shine.
 Sing reign of Fair Maid,
 with gold upon her toe,
 open you the West Door
 and turn the Old Year go.
 Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,
 the water and the wine,
 the seven bright gold wires
 and the bugles that do shine.
 Sing reign of Fair Maid,
 with gold upon her chin,
 open you the East Door
 and let the New Year in.
 Sing levy dew, sing levy dew,
 the water and the wine,
 the seven bright gold wires
 and the bugles that do shine.
