| [3] PRAISE TO THAT SWEET LITTLE CHILD
Praise to that sweet little child. Pure and innocent, pure and innocent, descended from his Heavenly Father's lap To give to us Life eternal Through the Bread of Heaven. Rejoice and be happy with a pure heart. For unto us is born the Chosen One Into the circles of this world.
Let all rejoice together, Great and small, great and small, And make ye now free from sin. Unto us is born The Chosen One Into the circles of this world. Rejoice and be happy etc.
