LITTLE CHILD OF LONG AGO
featuring the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir
LYRICS
My counterpane is soft as silk,
My blankets white as creamy milk.
The hay was soft to the Child, I know
The little Child of long ago.
Chorus:
O nata lux de lumine, (O Light born of light)
O nata lux de lumine,
O nata lux de lumine,
The little Child of long ago
Above the roofs the pigeons fly
In silver wheels across the sky.
The stable-doves they cooed to them
The little Child of long ago.
Chorus:
Bright shines the sun across the drifts,
And bright upon my winter gifts.
They brought the child incense, myrrh, and gold,
The little Child of long ago.
Chorus:
Oh, soft and clear the mother sings
Of winter joys and winter things.
The radiant angels sang to them,
The little Child of long ago.
The little Child of long ago.
