Tu Scendi Dalle Stelle

Posted by John White on 7/5/2026, 7:01 pm

The chapel bells were ringing
Deep snow had covered the ground
Young choristers were singing
There is no sweeter sound
Young choristers were singing
There is no sweeter sound

Vigil they’re keeping
While he is sleeping
Children surround yon manger there
As they kneel down in prayer
He came to guide and lead us
Forgiving beyond compare

A star that lit the heavens
bright signal came from on high
Sent down to lead the Magi
Guiding them as they drew nigh
Sent down to lead the Magi
Guiding them as they drew nigh

My attempt to write an English lyric
(Not a translation) to a beautiful
Italian carol

Beautiful John! Of course I had to look it up and that is also beautiful. Andrea Bocelli, what a voice.
