A new little baby came down from the sky– 
 Came down from the sky in the night. 
A soft little baby, with violet eyes,  
 Shining, and pure, and white. 
But how did the little new baby get 
 Down here from the depths of the sky? 
She couldn’t have come alone, you know,  
 For she’s much too young to fly. 
Oh! the angels carried her down in their arms 
 From the far-away, beautiful blue; 
Brought her down from the arms of God,  
 A present to me and to you.
