Nativity Carol
Written in 1963, this was one of its composer's earliest pieces. It was published in 1967 with organ accompaniment, and later scored for strings by the composer.
LYRICS:
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,
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.
Wise men from distant far land,
Shepherds from starry hills
Worship this babe so rare,
Hearts with his warmth he fills.
Love in that stable was born
Into our hearts to flow;
Innocent dreaming babe,
Make me thy love to know.
(Words and music John Rutter)

John Rutter composes and arranges the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard.
I know. He has inspired me.
Christmas Eve here in Sydney, 2023 and this gorgeous carol and John Rutter's arrangement is touching us all. Merry Christmas everyone, and to my beloved dad who isn't with us this Christmas for the first time. He will be playing the organ for the heavenly choir - I can see his cheeky grin! Love from Sydney - Dave
Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without this magnificent Carol.
Mary Ann Jensen, where heaven meets earth just for a fleeting moment.
And how could Christmas exist before Rutter?
The best of what this guy did I think. Wonderful.
Just beautiful.
God Bless John Rutter
Stirs beautiful feelings of love and joy at this season. So much to be thankful for😊
Beautiful beyond comprehension.
This song brings warmth to my heart.
Happy memories of singing this at Southwell Minster Cathedral ....Christmas Eve recital.
I’ve sung this with great choirs, my family and records, tapes and CDs and now CZcams. I love being touched by such great musical tenderness and such depth.
How wonderful to have sung this. I miss my choir days. Wishing you a very musical Christmas - David
Born in a stable so bare

Tender her lullaby
Over her son so dear

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
