My Lord Has Come (Solo voice and piano)

Other Info: The original SATB version of My Lord Has Come was written in 2010 and included in Carols For Choirs 5 published by Oxford University Press.

For solo voice and piano. One of Todd's best-loved carols, My Lord has Come has been arranged by the composer to facilitate performance by a solo voice with piano. The heartfelt setting of words by the composer begins with a pianissimo drone over which the sopranos introduce the expressive melody. Vocal range: D4-G5.

Shepherds, called by angels, called by love and angels:
No place for them but a stable.
My Lord has come.
Sages, searching for stars, searching for love in heaven;
No place for them but a stable.
My Lord has come.
His love will hold me, his love will cherish me, love will cradle me.
Lead me, lead me to see him, sages and shepherds and angels;
No place for me but a stable.
My Lord has come.
