While David was in the womb, we sang to him the
Benedictus to
the tune of FOREST GREEN
(Click here

If you live in Great Britain, this is the tune of O Little Town of
Bethlehem. It's what Zechariah sang to his son, John the
Baptist, when he came out of the womb, although we used a setting by James
Quinn (See Luke
1: 68-79). I sang it to David throughout the C-section and it was the first
thing he heard as they placed him in my arms. The nurses noticed how
quickly he calmed and settled, even through his Apgars. The same
experience happened with Baby Kevin at his birth! (Kevin's song was an
Argentinian Santo.)
