Shirley Murray wrote quite a few Christmas songs, “Star Child” being the most famous, but here is another.
Being Shirley Murray though, even this sweet text has some burrs in it to tweak our conscience. She called it the “Small Carol”.
The sheet music and text are at Hope Publications, set by Nigel Eastgate who I believe was a GP.
I made up some chords for this backing:
AA uses a different setting by Richard Madden.
I made two backings – one with too many chords using the fake organ in BIAB and one with simplified chords.
