Away in a Manger arr. Hal H. Hopson
Sleep, sleep, sleep little babe;
We sing you a song.
Sleep, O sleep,
Sleep, sleep little babe;
We sing you a song.
Sleep, O sleep.
Part I:
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed.
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay.
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Part II:
Sleep, sleep, sleep little babe;
We sing you a song.
Sleep, O sleep, Sleep, sleep little babe;
We sing you a song. Sleep, O sleep.
The cattle are lowing;
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
Part I:
Sleep, sleep, sleep little babe;
We sing you a song.
Part II:
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray.
Sleep, O sleep, Sleep, sleep little babe;
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there.
We sing you a song. Sleep, O sleep.
Angels Watching Over Me arr. Joel Raney
Tiny baby rest your head.
Angels watchin’ over me, my Lord
Safe inside your manger bed.
Angels watchin’ over me.
All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me, my Lord.
All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me.
Sleep my child and peace attend thee, all through the night
Angels watchin’over me.
Guardian angels, God will send me, all through the night.
Angels watchin’over me.
Shepherds in the field abiding heard the angels’ joyful tidings.
God, with us, is now residing all through the night.
Christ is born this holy night. Angels watchin’ over me, my Lord.
Bringing love’s redeeming light.
Angels watchin’ over me.
All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me, my Lord.
All night, all day, angels watchin’ over me.
Angels watchin’ over me.
