It’s not easy to find a good, simple and complete version of a traditional carol! Even the version I’ve used here features two tunes. It starts with the well-known tune sung in the UK (and the rest of the world) and then goes into the American tune! The professional musicians at Integrity at pull that off! Sadly, the sleeve notes don’t say who the children’s choir is.

Lyrics
Verses 1 & 2 unknown.
Verse 3 J. T. McFarland.
Melody: Verse 1 – William Kirkpatrick, Verses 3 & 4 – James Murray
AWAY IN A MANGER, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens 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.
