Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

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.

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.

So lovely to get away from politics and listen to the real meaning of Christmas, the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ!

I love your Carol service every year. Such wonderful traditions and songs should never be forgotten. The atmosphere in the Chapel and the choir's music make Christmas for me to the most wonderful time of the year 🎶🎶♥👌🎄

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love You, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side
Until morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there

The style and way that the English sing Away in the Manger is completely different from the American version. It’s nice.

Bravo! Bravo! KCC looks and sounds just the way we have come to expect. Dusk has settled over the Chapel. Everything in order, the sound impressive, the whole a tribute to the Director and the highly talented and expertly trained members of the Choir. Bravo also the Organ scholar✝. Time to download the rest before Christmas.
