Within a man­ger peace­ful lies
The lit­tle Christ asleep,
While o’er Him mo­ther Ma­ry bends,
Her faith­ful watch to keep.

Refrain

Lullaby, lul­la­by,
Angels are sing­ing up in the sky;
Lullaby, lul­la­by,
Glory to God most high!

The shep­herds kneel around His bed
And gaze with won­d’ring eyes
Upon the Babe of Beth­le­hem,
The Lord of earth and skies.

Refrain

We can­not see His bless­èd face,
As wise men did of old,
But we can give to Him our love,
More pre­cious far than gold.
