Product Description

Holy Innocents, a setting of a poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti for SATB and organ, was originally commissioned and first performed by Barnard Castle School. It is very singable by amateur choirs and lasts around 3'30". The feel is of a gentle lullaby.

Sleep, little baby, sleep;
The holy Angels love thee,
And guard thy bed, and keep
A blessed watch above thee.
No spirit can come near
Nor evil beast to harm thee:
Sleep, Sweet, devoid of fear
Where nothing need alarm thee.

The Love which doth not sleep,
The eternal Arms surround thee:
The Shepherd of the sheep
In perfect love hath found thee.
Sleep through the holy night,
Christ-kept from snare and sorrow,
Until thou wake to light
And love and warmth to-morrow.

1 July 1853
