Countdown to Christmas Day 5

For Day 5 I wanted us to start to learn, by heart, a Christmas song. My plan is for us to sing it on Christmas Day together.

So after some perusing online I decided on, Away In A Manger. It is such a beautiful song. The littlest munchkin seems happy with it, as she stole borrowed my copy to sing on the bus today :) AWWWWWWW!

Wish us luck!

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing,
The poor Baby wakes,
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 fit us for Heaven
To live with Thee there.
