"It's Christmas"
(Public Domain / John W. Work II / James R. Murray / Traditional)

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

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 till morning is nigh

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!

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

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!

Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere!
Go, tell it on the mountain that
Jesus Christ is born!

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!
