There are several carols written by women. One woman, poetess and hymn writer, was Cecil Frances Alexander. She was born in Ireland, in the 19th century, but she wrote in English. Now her much-loved carols and hymns are translated into many languages. Bishop Benson chose "Once in Royal David's City" to start his ceremony of nine lessons and nine carols in Truro Cathedral. The first verse is sung by a solo chorister.

Here is the first verse in Cornish.
