A Down in the village streets D E The air is full of wonder A Fair smiles greet D E A The crowning of the king… Come hither, gather round A joyous timeʼs upon us trumpets sound The crowning of the king… Fast away the olde Time too quickly passes Shine the light of new For the crowing of the king… Come forth those who wish For change and change becoming Welcome with every breath The crowning of the king… Chorus: A D Sweet is the hour and sweeter still A E The time we spend together A D Celebrate the noble will A E A The crowing of the king… To sing and dance and sing again With honor and with splendour All from far and near- See the crowning of the king! Step to the dance of hope Of courtly wiles and pleasure As the star of the morn Shines brightly for the king… Pray thee lift the veil From those who came before us Merriment will prevail For the crowning of the king… Chorus: Sweet is the hour and sweeter still The time we spend together Celebrate the noble will The crowning of the king… To sing and dance and sing again With honor and with splendour All from far and near- See the crowning of the king! Jesters spin and play The laughter sounds like music What a perfect day For the crowning of the king… Here in the village streets The air is full of wonder Fair smiles greet the crowning of the king… Come and see the crowning of the king
