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!?
