LITTLE JESUS IN THE MANGER
Little Jesus in the manger
Lying in peace and joy
Amidst the cattle with your Mother,
You are her Baby Boy
Look at me here in cold severe
Coming to adore You.
With the shepherds and animals
Worship and praise Your due.
Your gentle smile shines all the while
Calling me to come near
Simple creatures whose life preaches
They are to you most dear.
Sleep gentle Babe, Divine Infant
Enter in my poor heart
There take Your seat, Jesus most sweet
Never from me depart.
Angels from your realms of glory
Wing your flight over the earth
You who sang creation’s glory
Now proclaim Jesus’ birth.
Shepherds in the field abiding
Watching the flocks by night
God with man is now residing
See, the stars’ wondrous light.
O Blessed Babe, in manger stall
O Child of Love and Light
O Holy Son sent from above
Sleep peacefully tonight.
Shine brightly star of Bethlehem
So that all men may see
The King whose love will rule the world
Throughout eternity.
