De getalenteerde auteurs Patti Drennan en Bert Stratton schreven samen dit sfeervolle lied, dat geschikt is voor zowel Kerstmis, Kerstavond als Driekoningen. De tijdloze melodie in een lome 6/8 maat is een uitstekende drager van de hoopvolle tekst: ‘Good Tidings of great joy in Bethlehem tonight!’
His Everlasting Grace
ENGLISH
Good tiding of great joy in Bethlehem tonight, a precious baby boy, our Savior Jesus Christ. The sign we’ve waited for lies in a manger low. Come worship and adore the One in swaddling clothes.
Oh, what a sacred evening, a silent, holy night. While all the world would sleep, behold a wondrous light! Shining through the darkness, and pointing out the way, the promise of Messiah, His everlasting grace.
Nolonger must we bear the burdens of the past. The Lord has heard our pray’r salvation’s come at last.

A tender beam of love we kneel and give Him laud.
Our beacon from above, the precious Son of God.
Give praise, give praise, our joyous hearts we raise. Our Father’s love from heav’n above. Our humble King, salvation brings His everlasting grace it brings.
Oh, what a sacred evening, a silent, holy night. While all the world would sleep, behold a wondrous light! Shining through the darkness, and pointing out the way, the promise of Messiah, His everlasting grace. His everlasting grace.

Patricia Mock weeft op subtiele wijze fragmenten van de traditional ‘Away in a manger’ door een smaakvolle eigen compositie. Dit prachtige lied reflecteert op het verhaal dat Jezus de glorie van de hemel verruilde voor de nederigheid van de kribbe. Liefdevol gearrangeerd voor SA(T)B en opt. Kinderkoor door Faye López.
A Manger So Far From Home
ENGLISH
Oooo, in a manger so far from home.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; the stars in the sky looked down where He lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Away, away, away from the heavens.
Away, away from His glorious throne.
To the joy of a mother and angel song, in a manger so far from home.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, and stay by my side, until morning is nigh
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay close by me forever and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, and fit us for heaven to live with You there
Away, away, away from the heavens.
Away, away from His glorious throne.
To the joy of a mother and angel song, in a manger so far from home.
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed. in a manger so far from home.
