Look, on the hill it’s a growing crowd
Hark, there’s a song and it’s growing loud
Look, it’s the sun in the crimson east
Sweet is the scent of a Christmas feast
Hark, it’s the sound of a metal bell
Hark, it’s the sound of the morning prayer
Blessed is the day of the empty cell
Fresh is a wisp of the morning air
Bread and olive oil
Rice and lentil plates
Herbs and lemon juice
Seeds and figs and dates
Gold is the light on the mountain pass
Deep are the words of the Christmas mass
Now is the day when the fasting’s done
Come take your place in the gentle sun
