Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?

O, they sailed to Bethlehem.

Then let us all rejoice and sing.

Away in a Manger

Away in a Manger 

Away in a Manger

(Verses 1 & 2, were written by an anonymous author, Some sources show the author as Martin Luther; this attribution (probably incorrect) is based on the title 'Luther's Cradle Hymn,' given to these words by the composer, James Murray. Verse 3 is by John Thomas McFarland (1851-1913).

Thanks to Richard W. Adams for doing this research.

Lyrics:

[G] Away in a manger, no [C] crib for a [G] bed,

 The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet [D] head.

The [G] stars in the sky looked [C] down where He [G] lay,

The [G] little Lord Jesus, [D] asleep on the [G] 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.

Happy Holidays Everyone.

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Lyrics [guitar chord]: 

[D] I heard the bells on [A] Christmas day 

[D] Their old familiar [A] carols play, 

[D] And wild and sweet the [Bm] words [G] repeat 

[D] Of peace on earth, good [A] will to [D] men. 

I thought how, as the day had come, 

The belfries of all Christendom 

Had rolled along th' unbroken song 

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

And in despair I bowed my head 

'There is no peace on earth,' I said, 

'For hate is strong and mocks the song 

Of peace on earth, good will to men.' 

Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: 

'God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; 

The wrong shall fail, the right prevail 

With peace on earth, good will to men.' 

Till ringing, singing on its way 

The world revolved from night to day, 

A voice, a chime, a chant sublime 

Of peace on earth, good will to men.

Happy Holidays.
