AWAY IN A MANGER

AWAY IN A MANGER NO CRIB FOR A BED
THE LITTLE LORD JESUS LAID DOWN HIS SWEET HEAD
THE STARS IN THE BRIGHT SKY LOCKED DOWN WHERE
HE LAY
THE LITTLE LORD JESUS SLEEP 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 SIDE
UNTIL 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

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY

ANGELS FROM THE REALMS OF GLORY
WING YOUR FLIGHT O'ER ALL THE EARTH
YE WHO SANG CREATION'S STORY
NOW PROCLAIM MESSIAH'S BIRTH

COME AND WORSHIP
WORSHIP CHRIST THE NEW BORN KING

SHEPHERDS IN THE FIELD ABIDING
WATCHING O'ER YOUR FLOCKS BY NIGHT
GO WITH MAN IS NOW RESIDING
YONDER SHINES THE INFANT LIGHT

SAGES LEAVE YOUR CONTEMPLATIONS
BRIGHTER VISIONS BEAM AFAR
SEEK THE GREAT DESIRE OF NATIONS
YE HAVE SEEN HIS NATAL STAR

SAINTS BEFORE THE ALTAR BENDING
WATCHING LONG IN HOPE AND FEAT
SUDDENLY THE LORD DESCENDING
IN HIS TEMPLE SHALL APPEAR

SINNERS WRUNG WITH TRUE REPENTANCE
DOOMED FOR GUILT TO ENDLESS PAINS
JUSTICE NOW REVOKES THE SENTENCE
MERCY CALLS YOU BREAK YOUR CHAINS
