Baby Jesus

V1
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Sweet and gentle in your slumber.
Baby Jesus in the stable,
Born in Bethlehem this night.
With your mother tender Mary,
And your father Joseph too.
Baby Jesus in the manger,
God has special plans for you.

V2
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Sweet and gentle in your slumber.
Baby Jesus in the stable,
Born in Bethlehem this night.
Angels sent to tell the shepherds,
‘Go and find the new born King’.
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Light and goodness you will bring.

V3
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Sweet and gentle in your slumber.
Baby Jesus in the stable,
Born in Bethlehem this night.
Wise men bearing gifts to give you,
Gold and frankincense and myrrh.
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Wrapped up warm you do not stir.

V4
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Sweet and gentle in your slumber.
Baby Jesus in the stable,
Born in Bethlehem this night.
For Mankind you are a Saviour,
Born to save us all on Earth.
Baby Jesus in the manger,
Time to celebrate your birth.
Celebrate your birth.(Last line twice)
