"There's something bout the wood of the manger, that reminds me of the cross that he bore"
Been looking for this also. It was from a cantata. IIRC it was in Eb. Started with a sort of a blues chant "Shadow of the cross... shadow of the cross.....
Something bout the wood of the manger, that reminds me of the cross he would bear, cradled above the ground on those wooden legs so brown, I somehow see a cross in the air.
Chorus
It seems at times I see the shadow of a rugged tree, falling across the baby where he lay...
