Away in a Manger

Away in a Manger first appeared in print in the United States in the late 1880s and was for a time wrongly credited to Martin Luther — a myth that has since been put to rest. In America it is usually sung to the tune known as Mueller, while in Britain the melody Cradle Song by William J. Kirkpatrick is more common. Its tender picture of the infant Jesus in the hay has made it one of the most beloved carols.

Our Love to Sing choir keeps it soft and simple, so everyone can follow every line. It's a gentle favorite for school nativities, carol services and bedtime singing at home.
