A Christmas Carol by Jens Klimek — Lyrics
The Christchild lay on Mary's lap,
His hair was like a light.
(O weary, weary were the world,
But here is all aright.)

About A Christmas Carol
This SATB setting of A Christmas Carol paints a tender scene of the Christ-child resting with Mary. The lyrics reflect on the weary state of the world contrasted with the peace found in this holy moment. It speaks of the kings' worldly motives set against the genuine devotion present. Jens Klimek's setting offers a sacred musical expression of this familiar Christmas text, suitable for a choir looking for a reflective carol. The English text allows for clear articulation and emotional delivery, making it an accessible yet moving addition to any Christmas concert or service.
