music: UNE JEUNE PUCELLE

16th century French Canadian-Huron carol 

(‘Twas In the Moon of Wintertime)

1. The Saviour welcomes all to share His happy wedding feast

He calls us now to eat with Him, from greatest to the least

Come wash your hands, your hearts prepare

And let us join with Christ to share,

ALLELU, ALLELU, SING ALLELU

SING TO JESUS ALLELU!

2. He has a fountain ready for the dusty and unclean

And robes of purest white to wear, so let us enter in

Come leave behind the dark’ning night

And sing your song of sweet delight:

ALLELU, ALLELU, SING ALLELU

SING TO JESUS ALLELU!

3. He calls the restless wanderer, the weak and poor and blind

Though other doors be closed to you, a welcome here you’ll find

O taste the goodness of your God

He offers you His heav’nly food.

ALLELU, ALLELU, SING ALLELU

SING TO JESUS ALLELU!
