John Rutter Nativity Carol song lyrics

Born in a stable so bare, born so long ago;

Born 'neath light of star He who loved us so.

Far away silent He lay, born today, your homage pay,

(For) Christ is born for aye, born on Christmas Day.

Cradled by mother so fair, tender her lullaby;

Over her Son so dear angel hosts fill the sky.

Wise men from distant far land, shepherds from starry hills

Worship this Babe so rare, hearts with warmth He fills.

Love in that stable was born into our hearts to flow;

Innocent dreaming Babe, make me Thy love to know.
