About the Carol

Christina Rossetti (1830–1894) wrote this reflective Nativity poem in 1872. Gustav Holst (1874–1934) set it to the gentle tune Cranham in 1906, giving the carol its calm, wintry beauty.

The final verse asks what gift we can bring to Christ and answers, “give my heart.” Its quiet devotion has made it a favourite for Christmas Eve and meditative services.
