NOTES
Charming for Christmas Eve, this intimate setting is easy and accessible for even smaller choirs. This new Christmas anthem pairs two beloved Christmas lullabies: Greensleeves ("What Child is This") and Gevaert ("Entre le boeuf et l'âne gris.") LYRICS
Dreaming near the ox and sheep, Sleep, sleep, oh sleep. Angels hover nigh, covering the sky. Praise raising high above the God of Love. Sleep, sleep. What child is this who, laid to rest, on Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, while shepherds watch are keeping? Sleep, sleep. Raise, raise the song on high, the Mother sings her lullaby. Joy, joy for Christ is born, the babe, the son of Mary. Sleep, sleep. Entre le boeuf et l'âne gris Trad. French, freely tr. Harbold What Child Is This William C. Dix (1865) |
