Gesu Bambino (“the Christ Child”) is a Nativity song from 1917. It’s a lullaby for the Child, but also a call to worship for all others as He awaits them at the Bethlehem manger. Pietro A. Yon, the composer, created the melody so that it would mesh perfectly with VENITE ADOREMUS (“O come, let us adore Him”).
This piano-accompanied arrangement for three or five octaves is Level 3. The score package includes a full score which the pianist can use, and a separate handbell part for the bell choir. For the director’s convenient review, the handbell part is available separately.
Additionally, the piano accompanimnent is available as an MP3.

Nell’umile capanna nel freddo e povertà è nato il Santo pargolo che il mondo adorerà. Osanna, osanna cantano Venite adoremus |
When blossoms flowered ‘mid the snows Upon a winter night, Was born the Child, the Christmas Rose, The King of Love and Light. The angels sang, the shepherds sang, O come let us adore Him, (Martens lyric) |
