lyrics

Come, love, carolling along in me !
Come, love, carolling along in me!
All the while, wherever I may be,
I carry the maker of the world in me.

Lifting and loving you that I am not,
Though your body is my bone and blood,
I wonder at the maker who can be
Before I am and yet a child of me.

I lift and I carry you to Bethlehem,
I lift and I carry you to Galilee.
I'll carry you wherever I may be,
I carry the maker of the world in me.

In the beginning you were there, I know,
And you will carry me wherever I go.
I'll carry you wherever I may be,
I carry the maker of the world in me.

Come, love, carolling along in me !
Come, love, carolling along in me!
All the while, wherever I may be,
I carry the maker of the world in me.
