The pure, gentle, and lovely voice of Sara Groves has been one of my favorites since I first heard songs like “The Word” and “Generations.” Her Christmas project, O Holy Night, is one of those that we listen to all through the season. And the sense of love and yearning in this song make it a particular fave.

Sing sweet and low your lullaby, Till angels say Amen…

Sing sweet and low a lullaby
Till angels say Amen
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem

While wisemen follow
Through the dark
A star that beckons them
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem

A little child shall lead them
The prophets said of old
And storm and tempest heed them
Until the bell is tolled

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say Amen
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem

Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say Amen
A mother tonight is rocking
A cradle in Bethlehem
