Although the first publication of the Christmas carol,
Away in a Manger dates back to 1885,
but the popularity of the song has remained unchanged
over the years. The Christmas carol was first published
in the Lutheran Sunday school book, but we are still
clueless about the composer of this beautiful song.
However, in 1895, the music to the carol was given by
William J. Kirkpatrick. The song very beautifully describes
the nativity scene, where we find baby Jesus opening
his eyes for the first time in a manger amidst the lowing
of the cattle and under the clear starry night. Here
is 123newyear.com providing you with the lyrics of Away
in a Manger.
Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright 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 side,
'Til 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 take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
