Simmonds Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús Lyrics: 1 Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús, la cuna de paja nos vierte gran luz. Estrellas lejanas del cielo al mirar, se inclinan gozosas su lumbre a prestar. 2 Pastores del campo, teniendo temor, cercados de luz y de gran resplandor, acuden aprisa buscando a Jesús, nacido en pesebre, del mundo la luz. 3 Extraño bullicio despierta al Señor; mas no llora el niño pues es puro amor. Oh vélanos, Cristo Jesús, sin cesar; y siempre felices habremos de estar. Topics: Navidad; Navidad Scripture: Psalm 42:8-11 Used With Tune: CRADLE SONG

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Composer of "CRADLE SONG" in Worship in Song William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman

Anonymous

Author of "Away in a Manger (Kirkpatrick)" in Worship and Rejoice In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
