For as long as I can remember this has been one of my favorite carols.
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 night 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 Thee, 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 thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
I hope that each person reading this will experience a Christmas of peace, safety, healing and comfort, despite the restrictions in place. We can all be thankful for what we have, and celebrate the birth of Jesus even if we cannot be with family and friends.
May God Bless each and everyone of you!
