s
He who built the starry skies;
He, who throned in heights sublime,
Sits amid the Cherubim.

3.
Sacred Infant all divine,
What a tender love was Thine;
Thus to come from highest bliss,
Down to such a world as this.

4.
Teach, oh teach us, holy Child,
By Thy Face so meek and mild;
Teach us to resemble Thee
In Thy sweet humility.

5.
Virgin Mother, Mary blest
By the joys the fill thy breast,
Pray for us, that we may prove
Worthy of the Saviour's love.

CHRISTMAS

O Dear Little Children

Carol
Translated by Sister Jeanne Marie
Traditional Melody
Arr. By N. A. M.

Moderato semplice

1.
O dear little children, O come one and all,
Draw near to the crib, here in Bethlehem's stall,
And see what a bright ray of heaven's delight
Our Father has sent on this thrice holy night.

2.
O see in the crib low concealing His might,
See here by the rays of the clear shining light,
In cleanliest swaddle the Heavenly Child
More beauteous than legions of hosts undefiled.

3.
He lies there, O children, on hay and on straw
Dear Mary and Joseph regard Him with awe,
The shepherds, adoring, bow humbly in pray'r,
Angelical choirs with song rend the air.

4.
O children bend low and adore Him today,
O lift up your hands like the shepherds and pray,
Sing joyfully, children, with hearts full of love
In jubilant song join the angels above.

CHRISTMAS

Angels we have heard on high

Bishop Chadwick
Nicola. A. Montani

Allegro moderato

1.
Angels we have heard on high,
Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strains.

2.
Shepherd, why this jubilee?
Why your rapturous strains prolong?
What may the gladsome tidings be
Which inspire your heav'nly song?

3.
Come to Bethlehem, and see
Him Whose birth the angels sing;
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the newborn King.

4.
See Him in a manger laid,
Whom the choirs of angels praise
Mary, Joseph, lend your aid,
While our hearts in love we raise.

The snow lay on the ground, the stars shone bright
When Christ our Lord was born on Christmas night.

That brought into this world
