ALL CHILDREN SING : AWAY IN A MANGER (Mary cradles baby
Jesus and then lays him in the manger, and the shepherds go to stable before the end of this song) Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus lay 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 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 till morning is nigh.
