All This Time

William Walton (1902–1983)

All this time this song is best: 'Verbum caro factum est.'
[the word is made flesh]
This night there is a child y-born
That sprang out of Jesse's thorn;
We must sing and say thereforn,
All this time this song is best: 'Verbum caro factum est.'

 

This piece was performed on Octarium’s Christmas with Octarium, December 2003.
