Bambino Divino — Lyrics
Bambino Divino
Tra l'ombre apparì,
Tra grotte di notte
Più chiara del dì.
Maria la pia
Sul fieno posò
Il nato portato,
Che i Cieli creò.
Nel gelo, col velo,
Le membra coprì;
E'l Figlio qual Giglio
Tra spine vagì.
Allora l'adora,
E'l latte gli dà
D'un Seno, ch'è pieno
D'amor, e pietà.
Gli canta la Santa
Sua Madre così;

About Bambino Divino
This traditional Italian carol is ideal for Christmas services and concerts. The text paints a tender picture of the Nativity, describing the divine child appearing in the darkness, cradled by Mary on hay, illuminated more brightly than day. It reflects on the vulnerability of the infant Jesus and the profound love and sorrow of his mother. The music, suitable for SAT, SAB, TTB, or TBB choirs, likely draws on the folk traditions of Italy, offering a warm and heartfelt setting of this sacred text. Its simple, devotional character makes it a poignant choice for the Christmas season, conveying the tender intimacy of the Nativity story.
