Original Song	First Rewrite	Second Rewrite
The joyous news has come which never was before Over a cave above a manger A bright star has lit the world, where Jesus was born from a virgin maiden Clad in raiment poor Like a peasant baby. The shepherds with a lamb Surrounded the child, And on flected knees They him gloified We beg you, our King We pray to you today Grant happiness and joy To this family.	The joyous news has come which never was before, a red star with five tails has brightly lit the world.	The joyous news has come which never was before. Long-awaited star of freedom lit the skies in October the month of the Revolution. Where formerly lived the kings and had the roots their nobles, there today with simple folks, Lenin’s glory hovers.
