Subject: Lyr Add: CHILD IN THE MANGER
It's just got to be this one. The tune was used by an english lady for the words "Morning Has Broken", recorded by Kat Stephens, but here are the details for the original: - Words: Mary M. Macdonald (1789-1872); translated from Gaelic to English by Lachlan Macbean in Songs and Hymns of the Gael (Edinburgh, Scotland: 1888).
Music: "Bunessan," traditional Gaelic melody (MIDI, score).
