Psallite unigenito
Christo Dei Filio, Christo Dei Filio,
Redemptori Domino, puerulo, iacenti in praesepio.
What if an Infant small be cradled in the stall,
Angel quires in heav’nly hall
Before his footstool fall,
Singing anthems all.

This setting by the same Michael Praetorius comes from a vinyl recording issued long before CD’s.
