Its Christmas

Verse 1

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Verse 2

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

Chorus

It's Christmas!
The angels are singing and I know the reason
The Savior is born
It's Christmas!
The bells are ringing and I feel like shouting
Joy to the world!

Verse 3

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

Bridge

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere!
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!
