Away in a Manger

1. Away in a Manger 1.Away in a manger no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 2.The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love you Lord Jesus look down from the sky and stay by my bedside til morning is nigh.

2. 3. Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay close by me forever and love me I pray. Bless all the dear children in thy tender care and fit us for heaven to live with you there.

3. Carol of the Journey 1.One night in Bethlehem long ago, long ago, one little donkey with head bent low, head bent low, head bent low. Chorus: Tired and cold they travel on Mary and Joseph travel on. Tired and cold they travel on to a stable where Jesus is born.

4. 2. Donkey on the dusty track, dusty track, dusty track. Now carries Mary on his back, on his back, on his back. 3. Journey of great hope and joy, hope and joy, hope and joy. Born this night is a baby boy, baby boy, baby boy. 4. Shepherds minding their sheep at night, Sheep at night, sheep at night. See above them shining light, shining light, shining light.
