Sanctuary

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 the Earl of Warwick she did dread

In sanctuary a 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 a 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
