Little star of Bethlehem

"Little Star of Bethlehem" (Chanticleer).  

This is a serene and lovely carol, written in the late 19th century by Charles Ives’ daughter Edith, and set by Ives himself in the 1920s.






Little star of Bethlehem

Little star of Bethlehem!
Do we see Thee now?
Do we see Thee shining
O’er the tall trees?
Little Child of Bethlehem!
Do we hear thee in our hearts?
Hear the Angels singing:
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Noel!
O’er the cradle of a King,
Hear the Angels sing:
In Excelsis Gloria, Gloria! (Glory in the highest)
From his Father’s home on high,
Lo! for us He came to die;
Hear the Angels sing:
Venite adoremus Dominum. (Come let us adore God)
