Lyrics of Christmas lullaby by John Rutter,The Cambridge Singers,City of London Sinfonia

Clear in the darkness, a light shines in Bethlehem
Angels are singing, their sound fills the air
Wise men have journeyed to greet their Messiah
But only a mother and baby lie there
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Maiden and mother of Jesus our King
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
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Maiden, and mother of Jesus our King
What though your treasures 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
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Hear the soft lullaby the angel hosts sing
Ave Maria, ave Maria
Maiden, and mother of Jesus our King
Writer(s): John Rutter
