Cold Was the Stable

This new text, by M.D. Ridge, beautifully conveys the humble birth of our Savior and the continuing call to come to the stable, like the wise men, to honor Jesus. T.R. Smith here presents his lovely musical setting of the text in two guises: as a simple hymn on the one hand, and on the other: a more fully arranged, through-composed version for SATB chorus (with descant), keyboard, and guitar. Additional parts for string trio are available online.
