The Little Road to Bethlethem (MIDI)
By-Margaret Rose and Michael Head
(You Tube recording: The Choir of Wells Cathedral)

As I walked down the road at set of sun.
The lambs were coming homewards, one by one
I heard a sheep bell softly call ing them
along the little road to Bethlehem.

Be side an open door, as I drew nigh.
I heard sweet Mary sing a lullaby.
She sang about the lambs at close of day
and rocked her tiny King among the hay.

Across the air the silver sheep-bell rang,
"the lambs are coming home," sweet Mary sang.
"Your Star of gold, your Star of gold is shining in the sky
So sleep, my little King, go lullaby

As I walked down the road at set of sun, t
he lambs were com ing home-wards one by one,
I heard a sheep bell softly call in them
Along the little road to Bethlehem.


  Virgin's Sumber Song MIDI
By-Max Reger
(MP3 recording: Soloist and chorus)

Amid the roses Mary sits and rocks her Jesus child.
While a mid the tree tops Sighs the breeze so warm and mild.

And soft and sweetly sings a bird up on the bough:
Ah, baby, dear one. slum ber now!

Happy is Thy laughter Holy is Thy silent rest,
Lay Thy head in slumber fondly on Thy Mother's breast!
Ah baby, dear one, Slumber now.

 

Carol of a King MIDI
By-Mary E. Caldwell
(no internet recording found)

He left the silver stars at play, sing Noel Noel
He put His little crown a-way, sing Noel, Noel.
He kissed the lit-tle angels sweet and then on little shining feet,
the little King went wandering sing Noel Noel.

But one wee star of silver white, sing Noel Noel.
Went by Him with its little light, sing Noel Noel
Went because it loved Him so It could not bear to see him go,
the little King lone wandering, sing Noel, Noel

He came by night to Bethlehem, sing Noel Noel.
To all sad folk to comfort them, sing Noel Noel.
And little Christmas roses sweet, beneath His little shining feet,
the little King, sprang blossoming, sing Noel Noel

Sleep now, O little King, so dear sing Noel Noel.
