The Stars Looked Down Top Pick
Solo (High Voice) and Harp or Keyboard. A hauntingly beautiful setting of the G.K. Chesterton poem. Great with organ or piano, but with harp .... mmm! Available in two keys for those sky-high singers! Also available in SATB with parts for strings.
The Christ-child lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary's breast,
His hair was like a star.
(O stern and cunning are the kings,
But here the true hearts are.)
The Christ-child lay on Mary's heart,
His hair was like a fire.
(O weary, weary is the world,
But here the world's desire.)
The Christ-child stood at Mary's knee,
His hair was like a crown.
And all the flowers looked up at Him,
And all the stars looked down.
