Yikes! I just checked out those lyrics and they are WAY more Christian than the version we sang in school! We started with the "his parents poor" and most of the "Jesus" lyrics were left out...

Now I am wondering if our school sang an amended version, or if the one in the DT is the one changed to make it more religious?

This is kind of a drag; in the version I am familiar with it is all about this mysterious birth and the shepherds witnessing a miracle--I liked this sense of wonder and mysticism; the one in the DT is all about praising Jesus, etc....

ah well, thanks anyway. Maybe I can find that old version.
