GUEST,Dave'sWife sans cookie American Christmas Carols (63* d) Lyr Add: LIGHT OF THE STABLE 21 Dec 05


I don't know when it was written, but I alays enjoy "Light of The Stable' which emmylou harris recorded on her fine Christmas album of the same name. It's been re-recorded a few times but no one does it as well as she.

I once attended a Candlelight Christmas worship service that used it as a processional hymn and it works very well for that purpose. Sorry I dount have the writing credits:

LIGHT OF THE STABLE

Hail, hail to the newborn king
Let our voices sing him our praises
Hail, hail to the guiding light
That brought us tonight to our savior

Call and response chorus:
Ale, (lead singer)
alleluia (Chorus)
alle,(lead singer)
alleluia (Chorus)


Come now, there it shines so bright
To the knowing light of the stable
Lean close to the child so dear
Cast aside your fear and the thankful

Chorus
