Verse 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

Verse 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
Til morning is nigh

Chorus

It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
It’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world

Verse 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

Chorus

It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
The Savior is born
It’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world

Bridge

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain that
Jesus Christ is born

Chorus

It’s Christmas
The angels are singing
And I know the reason
the Savior is born

Chorus

It’s Christmas
The bells are ringing
And I feel like shouting
Joy to the world
