John Rutter - Christmas lullaby

^FClear in the dar^Bbkness a light sh^Fines in Bethlehe^Cm: ^FAngels are singi^Bbng, their sound ^Ffills the a^Cir. ^DmWise men have jo^Gmurneyed to g^Bbreet their M^Fessiah; ^DmBut only a mothe^Gmr and^Bb baby lie t^Chere.

^F'Ave Mar^Bbia, ^CAve ^FMaria': ^DmHear the soft lu^Gmllaby th^Bbe angel hosts si^Cng^F. ^F'Ave Mar^Bbia, ^CAve ^FMaria, ^DmMaiden, ^Gmand mother of Je^Bbsus^C our K^Fing'.

^FWhere are his co^Bburtiers, and who^F are his^C people? ^FWhy does he b^Bbear neither ^Fsceptre nor cro^Cwn? ^DmShepherds his co^Gmurtiers,^Bb the poor for his pe^Fople, ^DmWith peace as hi^Gms sceptre and lo^Bbve for his ^Ccrown.

^FWhat though your^Bb treasures are n^Fot gold or incen^Cse? ^FLay them be^Bbfore him with^F hearts full of ^Clove. ^DmPraise to the Ch^Gmrist child, and ^Bbpraise to his^F mother ^DmWho bore us a Sa^Gmviour by^Bb grace from ^Cabove.
