I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, And stay by my side until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven, who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall. With the poor and mean and lowly lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high, when, like stars, his children crowned all in white shall gather round.
