Thanks Dave.

from the pdf
Let children's voices resound today, merrily praising
him who has been born, sent by almighty God and
brought forth from a virgin?s womb.

He was born into the world, wrapped in swaddling
clothes, and placed in the manger in a cattle shed,
the Lord of the heavens, the Prince who destroyed
the spoils of hell.

Three wise men appeared; they offered gifts and
asked for a boy-child, following a star; they
worship-ped him, offering him gold, frankincense
and myrrh.

Let all the clerics, and likewise the boys, sing like
the angels:?You have come to the world; therefore
I pour out praise to you: Glory to God in the
highest!?

words from Piae Cantiones, 1582
Translation from The New Oxford Book of Carols
