This was one of the first Christmas songs I learned as a child
and it remains my favorite.
Away in a Manger
Away in a manager,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the the sky
Looked 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 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 They tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there.
A Happy and Blessed Sunday to you.
Jesus Love You.

...most children learned this at a young age, it's beautiful.
It's my favorite, too. I feel so loved and watched over when I sing the lyrics, Be near me, Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay close by me forever :)
I loved singing this as a child. Have a wonderful Sunday :)
I think it means more to me now than when young...I will say that I so love Joy To The World...it was always my favorite as a kid and it still makes me happy to hear it.
Wishing you a blessed Sunday and week ahead.
I love that song too! It's what Christmas is all about. I also love that quote by Groucho Marx. I choose to be happy every day!

This was my grandfather's favourites, he would request it from the Salvation Army band when they came around doing their Christmas carolling. I like it too, it's so lovely and gentle.

Really beautiful to read.
Even though it's a children's Carol, the words contain precious truth!
