[MUSIC - "AWAY IN A MANGER"] (SINGING) Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; the stars in the heavens look down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing; the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky and stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee 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 thee there.
