Performed at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Kansas City, MO on December 20th, 2015. (Latin) Dormi, Jesu! Mater ridet Quae tam dulcem somnum videt, Dormi, Jesu! blandule! Si non dormis, Mater plorat, Inter fila cantans orat, Blande, veni, somnule. (English) Sleep, Jesus! Mother smiles Who sees such sweet sleep, Sleep, Jesus, gentling! If you sleep not, Mother weeps, While she spins, in song she prays, Come, gentle little sleep.  less

Come every soul descending in dismay Who dreams to overcome this darkening day, Dispel the myths of mystery, and from these heavy chains you shall be free, Rejoice! Rejoice, the Light is here to help you find Some brightening of your shadow weary mind; To clear the tears of loss and pain, Restore you hope for life again, Rejoice, rejoice, your healing has begun, So dance for joy, the victory is won!

Recorded live on Friday, December 21, 2012, at All Saints Episcopal Church in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Performed by the Lyric Choir ensemble of the Girl Choir of South Florida. Artistic Director: Wallis Peterson, Accompanist: Susan Dodd. Before the paling of the stars, Before the winter morn, Before the earliest cock crow, Jesus Christ was born: Born in a stable, Cradled in a manger, In the world his hands had made Born a stranger. Priest and king lay fast asleep In Jerusalem; Young and old lay fast asleep In crowded Bethlehem; Saint and angel, ox and ass, Kept a watch together Before the Christmas daybreak In the winter weather.
