CALYPSO CAROL by S.K. Coatos, Sam Ojukwu — Lyrics

VERSE 1 See Him a lying on a bed of straw A draughty stable with an open door Mary cradling the babe she bore The Prince of glory is His name REFRAIN O now carry me to Bethlehem To see the Lord appear to men Just as poor as was the stable then, The Prince of glory when He came VERSE 2 Star of silver sweep across the skies, Showing where Jesus in the manger lies.

About CALYPSO CAROL

"Calypso Carol" is a lively and rhythmic Christmas piece that brings a bright, joyful energy to the story of the Nativity. With its vivid imagery of the "draughty stable" and the "Star of silver," the song paints a humble yet glorious picture of Christ’s birth. The melody carries a gentle, swaying momentum that feels both celebratory and deeply reverent, making it a favorite for choirs during the festive season.

In Nigerian parishes, this carol is a wonderful choice for the Christmas Eve Mass or a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. The refrain’s eager call—"O now carry me to Bethlehem"—invites the whole congregation to journey in spirit to the manger. As the verses unfold, moving from the shepherds' awakening to a personal reflection on the "riches from thy poverty," the arrangement offers choirs a chance to blend bright, rhythmic harmonies with a profound message of salvation.
