A Way in a Manger

A way in a manger
No crib for his bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head

The stars in the sky
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes

I love the Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Till morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask you to stay
Close me forever
And love me, I pray

Bless all dear children
In thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with thee there

WHAT CHILD IS THIS?

What child is this?
Who lays to rest?
On Mary’s lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems
Sweet while shepherds
Watching are keeping

This, this is Christ, the king
Whom shepherds
Guard and angels sing
Haste, haste to bring him praise
The babe, the son of Mary

So bring him incense,
Gold and myrrh
Comes peasant, king
Salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him
