Close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.

1 Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús,
la cuna de paja nos vierte gran luz.
Estrellas lejanas del cielo al mirar
se inclinan gozosas su lumbre a prestar.

2 La vaca mugiendo despierta al Señor,
mas no llora el Niño pues es puro amor.
¡Oh vélanos, Cristo Jesús, sin cesar!
Y siempre felices habremos estar.

3 Oh Cristo, pedimos hoy tu bendición,
rogamos que atiendas a nuestra oración.
A todos, oh Cristo, now muestra amor,
nosotros te amamos también, Salvador.
