2020 - Christmas Music of the Day #11 - Infant Holy, Infant Lowly
I have to admit that I was not as familiar with this Christmas carol until the past few years. I remember hearing it on a Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square broadcast and wondering what song this was.
From Wikipedia, we learn that it is an old carol that has Polish origins: ""Infant Holy, Infant lowly" (known in Polish as "W Żłobie Leży") is a traditional Polish Christmas carol. In 1920, the song was translated into English by Edith Margaret Gellibrand Reed (1885-1933), a British musician and playwright.[1] Reed found the carol in the hymnal Spiewniczek Piesni Koscieline (published 1908), though the song itself may date back as far as the thirteenth century.[2] The Polish text could possibly be attributed to Piotr Skarga (1536-1612).
The video that accompanies this recording is all about second chances. Thank goodness for the second chances I've been given. And the third. And the fourth. And so, so many more.
