Christmas Lullaby
This carol was commissioned in 1989 by The Bach Choir in celebration of the seventieth birthday of its conductor, Sir David Willcocks. The haunting melody of the verses and the reflective refrain of 'Ave Maria' have made this an immensely popular carol.
LYRICS:
Clear in the darkness a light shines in Bethlehem:
Angels are singing, their sound fills the air.
Wise men have journeyed to greet their Messiah;
But only a mother and baby lie there.
‘Ave Maria, ave Maria’:
Hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing.
‘Ave Maria, ave Maria,
Maiden, and mother of Jesus our King’.
Where are his courtiers, and who are his people?
Why does he bear neither sceptre nor crown?
Shepherds his courtiers, the poor for his people,
With peace as his sceptre and love for his crown.
What though your treasures are not gold or incense?
Lay them before him with hearts full of love.
Praise to the Christ child, and praise to his mother
Who bore us a Saviour by grace from above.
(Words and music: John Rutter)

John Rutter must be one of the greatest 20th & 21st century carol composers.
Starting with his first beautiful offering Nativity Carol in 1963.
beautiful performance - I love John Rutter carols - sang some myself some years ago. Very moving and lovely performance here - congratulations to you all singers and orchestra WONDERFUL Marie Miller Henderson-Cleland
This is such an exquisite hymn. I loved it the first time I heard it some years ago on the classical music radio station in Washington DC. I searched and finally found the album and bought the CD. Now I've found it again to save on my phone. I get chills every time I hear "Christmas Lullaby". Thank you John Ritter for composing such a beautiful piece of music. Glory to God in the highest.🙏 Merry Christmas 🎄⛪
It is so beautiful, that i cry a little every time i hear it.

Beautiful song with many happy memories of singing this song with the capital arts children's choir, especially on long coach journies on the way to other shows in London.
Exquisite - in melody tenderly sweet and harmony rich beyond words.

Clear in the darkness
A light shines in Bethlehem
Angels are singing
Their sound fills the Air.
Wise men have jouneyed
To greet their Messiah
But only a mother
And baby lie there
Refrain:
Ave Maria, Ave Maria, hear the sweet lullaby the angel hosts sing!
Ave Maria, Ave Maria, maiden and mother of Jesus our king.
Where are his courtiers
And who are his people?
Why does he bear neither sceptre nor crown?
Shepherds his courtiers
The poor for his people
With peace as his sceptre
And love for his crown.
What though your treasures
Are not gold or incense?
Lay them before him with hearts full of love
Praise to the Christ child
And praise to his mother
Who bore us a Saviour by Grace from above.
