Product Description

While working on this song my son asked "Why does it say 'whom shepherds guard'"? I asked him, "Who would normally guard a king?" "Oh!" The humiliation of Christ, the King is brilliantly illustrated in the words of this favorite Christmas hymn. This arrangement is a reflection on William Dix's poignant poem and the timeless 16th century English melody. It is in A minor, 4/4 time changing to 3/4, and has hints of "The Wayfaring Stranger".
What child is this? It is Jesus- who came to save You!
