Welcome Yule
$2.50
A joyous opener with handbells to add sparkle to your holiday concert or worship service. The 15th century text is a familiar (though slightly updated) excerpt of “Wolcum Yole” from Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. Commissioned and premiered by the Rochester Choral Arts Ensemble as part of their Ketterling Carol series.

Welcome Yule, to everyone,
In praise of this joyous day!
Welcome be thou new morning,
Welcome all this good evening,
Welcome whom we shall sing.
Welcome be ye, good New Year,
Welcome family far and near,
Welcome all lief and dear.
Welcome be ye every guest,
Welcome be ye, shall we bless,
Welcome both more and less.
Welcome be ye that are here,
Welcome all, and make good cheer,
Welcome all another year!
