The text of Coda from The Infant King has been set by Alan Smith and is now available in The Oxford Book of Flexible Carols (commission earned) (Oxford University Press)
- A dancing snow flake calms a bleating lamb
A star shine cheers a weary king
A berry stores the blood unshed
In the beginning. - An angel sets alight the secret sky
A chorus makes the whole world sing
A mother hums a lullaby
In the beginning.
The snow melts and the star declines
The blood bursts in the gloom
An angel bears a golden cup
On the darkest afternoon: - A lamb starts awake in a golden haze
An angel greets the risen king
A mother feels her womb ablaze
In the beginning.
