   Oh      my      Lord,             you sent    your son to save us.  Oh      my      Lord,
   Oh      my      Lord,             when in the crib they found him.  Oh      my      Lord,
   Oh      my      Lord,             they had   become  to doubt you.  Oh      my      Lord,
   Oh      my      Lord,             with the child's adoration        Oh      my      Lord,

   your very       self you gave us. Oh      my      Lord,             that sin    may not enslave us.
   a golden halo        crowned him. Oh      my      Lord,             they gathered all around him.
   what did they know    about you.  Oh      my      Lord,             but they were lost without you.
   there came great jubilation.      Oh      my      Lord,             and full of admiration
