Lyrics
In sanctuary a child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
His mother waking with the dawn
Told that King Henry had been restored
The Kingmaker once again supreme
The poor King Henry in a dream
To sanctuary a queen had fled
For that Kingmaker she did dread
In sanctuary his child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
Though leaving England he had sworn
That the House of York would be restored
For King Edward had to flee
For the safety of Burgundy
To Warwick many declared their hand
When at Dartmouth he did land
In sanctuary this child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
Crying with the waking dawn
Would his father's crown be restored
Greeting Henry as his lawful King
Greeting and freedom he did bring
When Warwick to London he did arrive
The House of Lancaster to revive
In sanctuary a child was born
Give praise and thanks to the Lord
