Nativity Carol - Tenebrae, Nigel Short, James Sherlock

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

Far away, silent he lay

Born today, your homage pay

For Christ is born for aye

Born on Christmas Day

Wise men from distant far land

Sheperds from starry hills

Worship this babe so rare

Hearts with his warmth he fills

Far away, silent he lay

Born today, your homage pay

For Christ is born for aye

Born on Christmas Day

Love in that stable was born

Into our hearts to flow

Innocent dreaming babe

Make me thy love to know

Far away, silent he lay

Born today, your homage pay

For Christ is born for aye

Born on Christmas Day
