Original Title: Away in a manger
Lyrics: James R. Murray

Spanish

1. Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús,
La cuna de paja nos vierte gran luz;
Estrellas lejanas del cielo a mirar
Se inclinan gozosas su lumbre a prestar.

2. Pastores del campo, teniendo temor,
Cercados de luz y de gran resplandor,
Acuden aprisa buscando a Jesús,
Nacido en pesebre del mundo la luz.

3. Oh Cristo pedimos hoy tu bendición
rogamos que atiendas a nuestra oración
A todos, Oh Cristo, nos muestras amor
Nosotros te amamos también Salvador

English

Stanza 1. Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
the stars in the heavens looked down where He lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Stanza 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 side until morning is nigh.

Stanza 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.
