ABOUT 'WHAT SHALL WE GIVE?'
Music: Catalonian carol
English Paraphrase: David Warner
Arrangement: Mack Wilberg
The carol “What Shall We Give?” has its roots in an old Catalonian Christmas lullaby. The original lyrics tell of peasants who ask what gifts they might bring to the baby Jesus, suggesting spices and several delicious foods. David Warner’s additional lyrics elaborate on these traditional words to include gifts of devotion we might offer the Savior. The refrain of this gentle lullaby imitates the quiet strumming of a guitar.
