El Niño entre los Bueyes by Oscar Santos — Lyrics
En la noche oscura
duerme el Niño
en la cuna
y la gran estrella
ilumina
su faz bella
(Estribillo:)
¡Dios de Dios!
¡Luz de Luz!
¡Rey de Reyes!

About El Niño entre los Bueyes
Oscar Santos's El Niño entre los Bueyes is a sacred motet for SATB choir. The Spanish text describes the Nativity, with the infant Jesus sleeping in a manger illuminated by a star. The lyrics express the theological significance of Christ's birth, stating that with His coming, God removes suffering and His sacrifice grants paradise. The refrain exalts Jesus as "God of God! Light of Light! King of Kings!" creating a devotional atmosphere that celebrates the divine nature of the newborn King.
