Timothy Dudley-Smith’s words
Child of the Stable’s Secret Birth
, although beginning with the nativity, is conscious that ‘the world is weaving a crown of thorn’. Beautiful music by Valerie Ruddle (a gentle lullaby) and equally haunting words have given this carol a worldwide following.
The carol makes varied use of SATB and keyboard arrangement with one verse being unaccompanied.
