READING Luke 2:6-7 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 bright sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing; the poor baby awakes, 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. 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 take us to heaven, to live with you there. READING Matthew 2:7-11 We Three Kings We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, Moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, Still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect Light.
