christmas lullaby - john rutter lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
clear in the darkness a light shines in bethlehem:
angels are singing, their sound fills the air
wis-m-n have journeyed to greet their messiah;
but only a mother and baby lie there

[chorus]
ave maria, ave maria:
hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
ave maria, ave maria
maiden and mother of jesus our king

[verse 2]
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

[chorus]
ave maria, ave maria:
hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
ave maria, ave maria
maiden and mother of jesus our king

[verse 3]
what though your treasure 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

[chorus]
ave maria, ave maria:
hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
ave maria, ave maria
maiden and mother of jesus our king
