The Carols We Love: Away in a Manger

 The Carols We Love: The "Story Behind the Story" of Twenty-Two Classic Christmas Carols by Daniel Partner, Barbour Publishing, Uhrichsville, OH, 2002.


The Carols We Love by Daniel Partner, Barbour, Uhrichsville, OH, 2002.
This is one of my favorite carols.  There are so many versions.  Here I sing combining several different versions.  This carol is credited to Martin Luther, but this book explains more likely written by J.R. Murray as was published in his Dainty Songs for Little Lads and Lasses in 1887.  He entitled it Luther's Cradle Hymn. 
This song simply tells the Christmas story, but then adds a prayer at the end.  It is beautifully done.  Tony is featured in the movie.
