Little Bitty Babe in a MangerPepper
Choplin. This tender anthem portrays the true
significance of the nativity through the innocent
inquisitiveness of a child's question about the
Little Bitty Babe in a Manger. The answer is that
He is God's beloved Son through whom God's
work will be done. From the cantata "Images of
Adoration." Highly recommended!
