How Sweet is Love

Text: Dutch Carol (1599), translation by R.C. Trevelyan (1872-1951)

A Child is born in Bethlehem;
Awaiteth Him all Jerusalem.

Amor, amor, quam dulcis est amor (Love, love, how sweet is love.)

The angels above were singing then;
Below were rejoicing the shepherd men.

Now let us all with angels sing;
Yea, now let our hearts for gladness spring.
