SHE MOVED THROUGH THE FAIR
My young love said to me my mother won't mind
And my father won't slight you for your lack of kind
And she stepped away from me and this she did say
It will not be long love 'til our wedding day
She stepped away from me and she moved through the fair
And fondly I watched her go here and go there
And she went he way homeward with one star awake
As the swan in the evening moved over the lake
The people were saying no two were ever wed
But one has a sorrow that never was said
And she smiled as she passed with her goods and her gear
And that was the last that I saw of my dear
Last night she came to me my young love came in
So softly she entered that her feet made no din
And she came close beside me and this she did say
It will not be long love 'til our wedding day

STELLA SPLENDENS
(We will probably only sing verse 1)
Chorus
Stella splendens in momte ut solis radium
Miraculis serato ex audi populum
1.
Concurunt universi gaudentes populi
Divetes et egeni grandes et parvuli
Ipsum in grediuntur ut cernunt oculi
Et inde revertuntur gratiis repleti
2.
Princepes et magnates ex stirpe regia
Saeculi potestates obtenta venia
Pecaminum proclamant tundentes pectora
Poplite flexo clamant hic: Ave Maria
3.
Praelati at barones comites incliti
Religiosi omnes atque presbyteri
Milites mercatores cives marinari
Burgenses piscatores praemiantur ibi
4.
Rustici aratores nec non notarii
Advocati scultores cuncti ligni fabri
Sartores et sutores nec non lanitici
Artifices et omnes gratulantur ibi
5.
Reginae comitisae ilustres dominae
Potentes et ancillae juvenes parvulae
Virgines et antiquae pariter viduae
Conscendunt et hunc montem et religiosae
6.
Coetus hi aggregantur hic ut exhibeant
Vota regratiantur ut ipsa et redant
Aulam istam ditantes hoc cuncti videant
Jocalibus orantes soluti redant
7.
Cuncti ergo precantes sexus utriusque
Mentes nostra mundates oremus devote
Virginem gloriosam matrem clementiae
In coelis gratiosam sentiamus vere

Never heard before boys
Saint up on a Sunday
He played away his clothes boys
Never was there such a saint
Ever heard before boys

Verse 2: Tops sing in unison + Mids and Basses
Verse 3: Tops sing the canon + Mids and Basses
Tops
I'm just a poor wayfaring stranger
A'travelling through this world of woe
And there's no sickness toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm going home to see my mother
I'm going home no more to roam
I am just going over Jordan
I am just going over home
Mids and Basses
Poor wayfaring stranger
Poor wayfaring stranger
Travelling through this world of woe
Travelling through this world of woe
No more to roam
No more to roam
I'm a'going over
I'm a'going over
