We learned this song in Baby Music and Me this morning. I want to share it with you.
Little Jesus
Here is a Christmas musical activity to do with a young child (age 0-6) while singing “Little Jesus.” This sweet Christmas lullaby was written by Marilyn Curtis White (words) and Mark Newell (music). #parenthood #kidmusic #babymusic #faith #christmasmusic #musiceducation #christmaslullaby #learnhowtosingonline #learnhowtoshare
This song is great for:
- any bonding time during the day,
- nursery class,
- primary class or sharing time,
- family home evening, or
- Christmas Eve.
Lyrics
Fairest little Jesus Child, Came to Earth so meek and mild, Came to Earth to show the Way. Praise we sing on Christmas Day!
Fairest little Jesus Child, From the Heaven’s Angels smiled. We a gift before Thee lay. Praise we sing on Christmas Day!
