Composed by Traditional Polish Carol. Arranged by Philip Le Bas. This edition: pdf, streaming. Christian, Christmas, Praise & Worship, Religious, Traditional. 7 pages. Philip Le Bas #1357557. Published by Philip Le Bas (A0.1797297)."Infant lowly, infant holy" is a traditional Polish Christmas carol with a very beautiful, simple melody. Here it is given a new setting by Philip Le Bas.
David Willcox's arrangement in OUP's "Carols for Choirs" with its slightly complex cross-rhythms is well known. In this arrangement the carol is re-cast in three verses with a piano accompaniment and a more straighforward rhythmical structure. However, it includes a richer harmonic accompaniment and a running piano line over the top of the melody. It should be played and sung with a lilt, as indicated by the dynamic hair-pins so that it retains its rocking gentleness.
The words were translated into English by Edith M Reed in the early twentieth century:
1. Infant lowly, infant holy,
For his bed a cattle stall;
Oxen lowing, little knowing
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
Swift are winging angels singing,
nowells ringing, tidings bringing,
Christ the babe is Lord of all,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
2. Flocks were sleeping, shepherds keeping
vigil till the morning new;
saw the glory, heard the story,
tidings of a gospel true.
Thus rejoicing, free from sorrow,
praises voicing, greet the morrow;
Christ the babe was born for you,
Christ the babe was born for you.
3. High above us, God who loves us
sends his Son to save us all;
stature growing, wisdom knowing,
full obedience to his call.
Born in weakness, wondrous mystery,
God eternal enters history.
Christ the babe is Lord of all,
Christ the babe is Lord of all.
