As my soul is with you in the sweet night, and feels happy waiting for you, because nowhere is far. Recorded by Matthew Curtis (ChoralTracks).

He is so small the stars bow down the fierce winds ease their breath, And careful shepherds look upon the one unsullied birth. They kneel and stare while time seems gone and goodness rules the earth. The blight on man is all undone, and there will be no more death, For though this child will be nailed on a cross, He'll be so since he is the jewel of untold worth. For him all stars have shone, have shone, have shone, shone...........
