No Strings A Cappella – Past Three O’ Clock
An evening pause: Though written as celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus, I think the lyrics really apply all newborns. As William Wordsworth said, we arrive “trailing clouds of glory.”
past three o’clock,
on a cold frosty morning,
past three o’clock,
good morrow masters all.
born is a baby
gentle as may be,
son of the Eternal
Father supernal.
mid earth rejoices
hearing such voices.
ne’ertofore so well
carolling nowell!
cheese from the dairy
bring they for Mary,
and, not for money,
butter and honey.
thus they: i pray you,
up sirs, nor stay you
till ye confess him
likewise and bless him.

An evening pause: From the youtube webpage:
The Amazing Grace Christmas House was located in Pleasant Grove, Utah and designed and programmed by Richard Holdman. A small little charity box placed in front of the display has raised more than $40,000 for the Utah Make-a-Wish Foundation. Thank you everybody for your support.

Kaylee Rodgers & Killard House Special School – Hallelujah
An evening pause: As noted at the webpage where I found this video, “Kaylee Rodgers has autism and ADHD, but has been growing in confidence with every performance after starting to sing at the age of just three.”
