THE WAY IN A MANGER

To the tune of “Away in a Manger.”

The Way in a manger,

Was God’s only Son,

He came down to save us

From sin, we had done.

The world was made ready,

This child to receive.

God’s Gift sent from heaven

to all who believe.

The Angels around Him

looked down at His bed,

The little Lord Jesus

lay down His sweet head.

His Star in the sky

shone brightly above,

All beings adored Him,

This blessed Child of love.

The Father of Jesus

sent His Son to earth,

To bring us salvation

Through His holy birth.

He died on the cruel cross

For all of our sin,

Then arose on the third day

Now He lives again.

The Way in the Manger

Is God’s only Son,

He came down to save us,

Salvation is done.

Trust in the Lord Jesus

And His loving care,

He’ll take you to Heaven

To live with Him there.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:21
