Away in a Manger
Tune: traditional, public domain
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky look 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 you Lord Jesus, look down from the sky.
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask You to stay,
Close by me forever, and love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Your tender care,
And take us to heaven to live with You there.
Baby Jesus
Tune: Jesus Loves Me
Baby Jesus, God’s own Son,
Born that day in Bethlehem.
Horses, donkeys, cows, & sheep,
Watched the little baby sleep
He came to save me!
He came to save you!
He came to save us!
Because God loves us so!
Shepherds heard the angels sing,
Then went to see the newborn King.
Later wise men worshiped, too,
Just like you and I should do.
He came to save me!
He came to save you!
He came to save us!
Because God loves us so!

Gabriel went to see Mary,
He said, don’t be afraid,
The Lord your God has sent me here,
To say you’ll have a baby.

And soon they had a baby.

Shepherds heard the angels’ song,
They sung, “God’s Son is born.”

Shiny star, shiny star,
Wise men saw a shiny star,
That tells, “God’s Son is born.”
Here We Come to Bethlehem
Tune: Mulberry Bush
Here we come to Bethlehem,
Bethlehem, Bethlehem,
Here we come to Bethlehem,
To see the baby King.

Before the baby King.
Here the wise-men bring their gifts,
Bring their gifts, bring their gifts,
Here the wise-men bring their gifts,
To the baby king.
Here we come to Nazareth,
Nazareth, Nazareth,
Here we come to Nazareth,
With the baby King.
Here he grew to be a man,
Be a man, be a man,

Jesus, our King.
We love our God for sending Him,
Sending him, sending him,
We love our God for sending Him,
Jesus, our King.

Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Here they come one by one
Three wise men from far beyond,
They are searching for the King
Born this very day

Look up high in the sky
A big star is passing by
It will take them to the King
Born this very day

Mother Mary keeps him safe
He is Jesus, the new King,
Born this very day
The big star will lead the way.

A bright star led them to the place,
Where baby Jesus lay.
The wise men gave him many gifts,
The wise men gave him many gifts,
The wise men gave him many gifts,
To show him their love.
They worshiped little Baby Jesus,
They worshiped little Baby Jesus,
They worshiped little Baby Jesus,
And gave thanks to God above.
