William Walton - All This Time

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1994887
All this time this song is best:
'Verbum caro factum est.'

This night there is a chid yborn
That sprang out of Jesse's thorn;
We must sing and say thereforn

All this time this song is best:
'Verbum caro factum est.'

Jesus is the childes name
And Mary mild is his dame;
All our sorrow shall turn to game:

All this time this song is best:
'Verbum caro factum est.'

It fell upon high midnight:
The starres shone both fair and bright;
The angels sang with all their might

All this time this song is best:
'Verbum caro factum est.'

Now kneel we down on our knee
And pray we to the Trinity
Our help, our succour for to be;
All this time this song is best:
'Verbum caro factum est.'

Biography

edit bio
Sir William Walton (1902-1983) was one of Britain’s best-known composers of the 20th century. He befriended Sacheverell Sitwell while studying at Oxford, a relationship that would lead to his first high-profile success, providing the music for Edith Sitwell’s performance piece Façade in 1922. His Viola Concerto seven years later was a success in a more traditional vein. His compositions include his cantata Belshazzar’s Feast, his First Symphony, his opera Troilus and Cressida, and his music for the 1944 film Henry V. He was knighted by the British crown in 1951.
