Fragile finger sent to heal us

Tender brow prepared for thorn

Unto us is born

Perfect Son of God
 Eflat+          F-       Eflat+
Welcome to our world


note:  this is not the exact key from the cd version.  the cd version had to
large a key span, so i tranposed it to this key.  i
believe that the cd version begins in the key of E+ and moves to F+.
