Three easy-to-learn Christmas items for children from David Catherwood.
Lullaby of Love – A Christmas Song
A gentle Christmas lullaby with new words by William Hastings. This version may be sung in unison and has an optional second part. It is also available in an SATB version. The gentle, flowing melodic line will be easily learned by children or adults. The simple, yet effective, accompaniment provides interest and color with a few delicate references to other “manger” carols. The words of the first verse are:
The eastern star shone through Bethlehem’s night
Guiding the wise men with heavenly light
The angels in chorus sang a new song
The light of the world has been born
The hope of the world has come
To show us a world of love
His beauty adorned in his mother’s embrace
A miracle of His grace
