David Warin Solomons #927684. Published by David Warin Solomons (A0.1342162). This is an a cappella arrangement of the tune Stowey, which is a traditional English folksong often paired with these words by Frances Chesterton:How far is it to Bethlehem, not very far?Shall we find the stable room lit by a star?Can we see the little child, is He within?If we lift the wooden latch, may we go in?May we stroke the creatures there, ox, ass or sheep?May we peek like them and see Jesus asleep?If we touch His tiny hand, will He awake?Will He know we've come so far just for His sake?Great Kings have precious gifts and we have noughtLittle smiles and little tears are all we have brought.For all weary children Mary must weepHere, on His bed of straw, sleep, children, sleep.God in his mother's arms, babes in the byreSleep as they sleep who find their heart's desire.
