Set to Timothy Dudley Smith's 'Light of the world, a child is born', Joanna Forbes L'Estrange's Carol of the Crib sensitively conveys, through shifting modes and dynamics, the banishing of darkness when the light of the world, Jesus Christ, was born.

Carol of the Crib is ideal for Christmas Eve services such as the Blessing of the Crib or Christingle. A melody line with words of the choruses is included for you to copy and distribute with the service sheets.

For SSA choir and organ.
