Gesù bambino by Pietro Yon — Lyrics
When blossoms flowered 'mid the snows Upon a winter night
Was born the Child the Christmas Rose, The King of Love and Light
The angels sang, the shepherds sang, The grateful earth rejoiced
And at His blessed birth the stars Their exultation voiced.
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
O come let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.

The music beautifully captures this sense of awe and adoration, with the soaring "O come let us adore Him" refrain offering a powerful expression of devotion. Written for SATB choir, Gesù bambino is a radiant and uplifting anthem, perfect for any Christmas celebration.
