All the little boys he killed at Bethlem in his fury, at Bethlem in his fury. 4 Now may Mary's son, who came so long ago to love us, lead us all with hearts aflame unto the joys above us, unto the joys above us. 5 Omega and Alpha he! Let the organ thunder, while the choir with peals of glee doth rend the air asunder, doth rend the air asunder. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR Text Sources: German carol, 15th century
