5. Now to the Lord sing praises<br />

All you within this place,<br />

And with true love and brotherhood<br />

Each other now embrace;<br />

This holy tide of Christmas<br />

All others doth deface:<br />

O tidings of comfort and joy, …<br />

The Linden Tree Carol<br />

(Old German tune, arranged by Reginald Jacques)<br />

Blessed be that Maid Mary<br />

(English traditional tune, arranged by David Willcocks)<br />

AWAY IN A MANGER<br />

1. Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,<br />

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.<br />

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,<br />

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.<br />

2. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,<br />

But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.<br />

I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,<br />

And stay by my side until morning is nigh.<br />

3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay<br />

Close by me for ever, and love me I pray.<br />

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,<br />

And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.<br />

Ding Dong! Merrily on High<br />
