John Rutter feat. The Cambridge Singers & City of London Sinfonia - John Rutter Christmas Album

Christmas lullaby

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

Ave Maria, ave Maria
Hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Maiden, and mother of Jesus our King

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

Ave Maria, ave Maria
Hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Maiden, and mother of Jesus our King
