This is another new carol from Patricia Smith from her collection And the Angel Sang. This is a gentle song but I think it will survive choir and assembly. It is basically an audio nativity scene.
The individual sheet music is available at Willow.
This backing I kept simple for a change and let BIAB do its fingerpicking best:
1 See how he rests with his tiny hand under his cheek,
His breath barely stirring the straw in the manger bed!
See how the angels rejoice, the earth is singing for joy!
Come now and worship him, come now and worship the Lord!
2 See how he stretches and opens his eyes to the light,
Whose gaze dims the stars leaning down from the heavens above!
See how the darkness has fled before the Light of the world!
Come now and worship him, come now and worship the Lord!
3 Watch as he nestles so warm in his young mothers arms,
While shepherds and kings, kneel before him with worshiping hearts!
Let every heart offer praise before the throne of grace!
Come now and worship him, come now and worship the Lord!
Come now and worship him, come now and worship the Lord!
