Look Unto the East

The teacher of truth told tales

Of trouble times that would begin

And the cynical sower sowed

The sorrowful seeds of seven sinsThe people placed a price upon

The prince of perfect peace

And the one who wooed the world was wounded

Look unto the eastThe morning moved in mournfully

With many moments marred

By brawny beast who beat the beauty

Bound and bit and barredThey laid the lash upon him low

His lips moved not the least

Watch him come from where he did go

Look unto the eastThe devil drew his darts

And the dearest dove came droppin' down

But the spirits slips in soft and sweetly

Unseen with no soundThe comforter, the counselor

With us till time is ceased

And the groom will return for his bride

Look unto the east
