Away In A Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay

Long time ago
In a land that is far away
Sin it had lost it's hold
And hope it had come to stay

Long time ago
In a manger so far away
Hate it had lost it's hold
And love it had come to stay

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 cradle 'til morning is nigh

Long time ago
In a land that is far away
Sin it had lost it's hold
And hope it had come to stay

Long time ago
In a manger so far away
Hate it had lost it's hold
And love it had come to stay

Him a the only begotten One
Only begotten Son
Only begotten, never forgotten
Only begotten One

Only begotten One
Only begotten Son
Only begotten, never forgotten
Only begotten One

Look to the sky where does my help come from
My help comes from my God, oh yaga yoi
Look at this child
Where does my hope come from
My hope comes from You Lord

You are the only begotten One
Only begotten Son
Only begotten, never forgotten
Only begotten One

Only begotten One
Only begotten Son
Only begotten, never forgotten
Only begotten One

The Prince of Peace is here
To take away the sin within my heart
My Redeemer is here
And He's the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God

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 fit us for heaven to live with Thee there

Long time ago
In a land that is far away
Sin it had lost it's hold
And hope it had come to stay

Long time ago
In a manger so far away
Hate it had lost it's hold
And love it had come to stay
