METHODIST PROTESTANT CHURCH

Gifted to me by Lee Emig, The Church organist,
going back to my beginning.

"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.

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love the Lord Jesus , look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle 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 they tender care,
And fit  us for heaven, to live withThee there."
