“Gesú Bambino” (Martens/Yon)

Merry Christmas from LCS! “Gesú Bambino” (“The Infant Jesus”) is an Italian Christmas carol composed in 1917 by Pietro Yon. Yon’s melody was translated by Fredrick Martens for his English carol “When Blossoms Flowered ‘mid the Snows”.  The melody and lyrics of the chorus are derived from “Adeste Fideles” (O Come All Ye Faithful).  LCS is proud to present this original 1919 version of the beautiful song proclaiming the birth of Christ.
