Tiny Babies Resembling Infant Jesus

One we were tiny babies
resembling infant Jesus;
Mary's graceful smile illuminated
his joyful face that angels adored! 

And this heavenly child wrapped
in humble linens was prophesized
to be a supreme king over people and nations;
Erode feared Him from birth: he killed all babies!

Love these tiny babies
resembling infant Jesus;
cuddle them, admire their innocence:
they're the sight of pure blissfulness!

Many are loved by mothers with a gentle tone, 
others are cruelly abandoned on church's steps
to become those orphans crying alone: 
find then a home, spare them loneliness!
