Away in a Manger

The most famous reindeer of all

Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer Away in a manger, no crib for a had a very shiny nose bed, and if you ever saw it The little Lord Jesus laid down his you would even say it glows. sweet head.

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

All of the other reindeer used to laugh and call him names They never let poor Rudolph play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve Santa came to say: “Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight?”

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky Then all the reindeer loved him And stay by my cradle til morning as they shouted out with glee, is nigh.

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, you’ll go down in history!

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

O Come All Ye Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, Faithful And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.

Come and behold Him, Rudolph The Red Born the King of Angels!

Nosed Reindeer

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donder and Blitzen But do you recall

O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord.

Sing, alleluia,
