away in a manger / child in the manger

away in a manger

no crib for a bed

the little lord jesus laid down his sweet head

the stars in the sky looking down where he lay

the little lord jesus asleep on the hay

child in the manger

infant of mary

outcast and stranger

lord of all

child who inherits

all our transgressions

all our demerits on him fall

once the most holy

child of salvation

gentle and lowly

now as our glorious mighty redeemer

see him victorious

o'er each foe

prophets fortold him

infant of wonder

angels behold him on his throne

worthy our savior

of all our praises

happy forever

are his own
