From the composer of Jesus Christ the apple tree, this gentle Christmas carol by Poston is a lullaby using the familiar text O my deir heart, young Jesus sweet by James, John and Robert Wedderburn, arranged for two-part upper voices. The first verse is for unison voices before the chorus divides in two for some simple but attractive, mostly homophonic part writing in the second verse. The title has been out of print for many years and is now restored to the repertoire in a brand new edition as part of the Boosey & Hawkes Choral Treasury.
