This week at Sacrament meeting, we sang "Away in a Manger". I've heard this song a hundred times but I've never focused on the words, especially the third verse.
"Away in a manger, no crib for his 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.
"The cattle are lowing; the poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
"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."
I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior. This time of year is wonderful. It reminds us of our Lord and the duty we have to serve others, not only during the Christmas season, but throughout our lives.
