Away in a Manger
Author: Anonymous Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 544 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Jesus Advent and Nativity First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 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 on the hay.
2 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 till morning is nigh.
3 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.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:7 Used With Tune: AWAY IN A MANGER

The First Noel
Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 399 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Advent and Nativity; Jesus Advent and Nativity First Line: The first Noel, the angel did say Refrain First Line: Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Lyrics: 1 The first Noel, the angel did say,
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Refrain:
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.
2 They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night. [Refrain]
3 And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a king was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went. [Refrain]
4 This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay. [Refrain]
5 Then entered in those wise men three,
Full reverently upon the knee,
And offered there, in His presence,
Their gold and myrrh and frank incense. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:8 Used With Tune: THE FIRST NOEL Text Sources: Anon. English Carol; Sandy's Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern, 1833

All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and Child,
Holy Infant so tender and mild,

Shepherds quake at the sight,
Glories stream from heaven afar,
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia;

Christ the Savior is born.

Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

All is dark save the light
Yonder, where they sweet vigils keep
O'er the Babe who in silent sleep
Rests in heavenly peace,

To human view displayed,
All meanly wrapped in swathing bands,
And in a manger laid,
And in a manger laid."

Appeared a shining throng
Of angels, praising God, who thus
Addressed their joyful song,

And to the earth be peace;
Good will henceforth from heaven to men
Begin and never cease,
Begin and never cease."
