A New Year Carol by Paul Stetsenko — Lyrics
Here we bring new water from the well so clear
For to worship God with, this happy New Year
Sing levy dew, sing levy dew, the water and the wine;
The seven bright gold wires and the bugles that do shine.

About A New Year Carol
Paul Stetsenko’s A New Year Carol opens with a sense of gentle but purposeful movement, the SATB voices weaving together to create a warm and inviting texture. The music is set to an English text that welcomes the New Year with vivid imagery and traditional symbolism. It speaks of bringing 'new water from the well so clear' to 'worship God' and asks for the 'New Year in' to be welcomed while the 'Old Year go'. The carol captures a celebratory yet devotional spirit, appropriate for Christmas and New Year occasions.
