Content - This song paints the picture of the manger scene in the most beautiful way, beginning with a lyrical duet, then swelling into a choral section with stunning harmony and counterpoint. The second and third parts are very easy to learn yet wonderfully effective, making this a lovely piece for inclusion in Christmas concerts and ideal for choir repertoire.

Lyrics sample
Baby Jesus sleeps, while mother Mary keeps
Her blessed vigil by His manger bed.
As a star shines bright into the deepest night,
Our baby Jesus rests His sleepy head.
Even as the cattle low, so softly.
Even as the angels sing their praise to God
We know the joy He brings, He is all good things.
He is the Saviour! Our precious baby King
