Nativity Song
ADAPTED FROM THE LATIN OF JACOPONE DA TODI
The beautiful mother is bending
Low where her baby lies,
Helpless and frail, for her tending;
But she knows the glorious eyes.
The mother smiles and rejoices
While the baby laughs in the hay;
She listens to heavenly voices:
" The child shall be king, one day. "
O dear little Christ in the manger,
Let me make merry with thee.
O King, in my hour of danger,
Wilt thou be strong for me?

Let me make merry with thee.

Wilt thou be strong for me?
