Away In A Manger
Hillsong Worship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love you, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And fit us for heaven, to live with you there
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
Then my little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
I love you, I love you, Thank You Jesus
Ohhhhh Thank You
The first verse of Hillsong Worship's rendition of "Away in a Manger" brings to life the humble beginnings of the story of Jesus Christ. The song paints a picture of a child born in a manger, with no crib to lay his head on. The verse also mentions the stars in the sky, perhaps as a reminder of the heavenly significance of the child's birth. The second verse of the song focuses on the peaceful slumber of baby Jesus, even amidst the lowing of cattle. The lyrics express the adoration of the singer towards the little Lord Jesus, while also asking for his presence through the night until morning comes. The third and final verse shifts the focus from the humble beginnings of the child to a prayer for his continued blessings upon all the dear children in his tender care, concluding with the aspiration of living with him in heaven one day.
Overall, this classic Christmas hymn celebrates the love and care of baby Jesus in a humble stable, showing the deep appreciation of the singer for the significance of Christ's birth. Additionally, through its simple yet deep expressions of gratitude, the song touches on the universal aspects of faith and spirituality, reminding us of the love that transcends all boundaries and divisions.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid โ repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign - the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware โ Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 โ rise of the โ man of peaceโ from the East = Antichrist โ the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust โpopeโ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope โ will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
- banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
- Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
- โHe will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.โ

Lyrics:
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
The dawn of salvation beginning to break
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, oh, gift from above
The King of the heavens, forever with us
I worship You, Jesus for all of my days
The highest of praises be unto Your name
My God and my Savior
My King and my friend
Yours is the glory, forever amen
Yours is the glory, forever amen
Yours is the glory, forever amen

Version franรงaise
Loin dans une mangeoire
Pas de berceau pour un lit
Le petit Seigneur Jรฉsus
Posa sa douce tรชte
Les รฉtoiles dans le ciel lumineux
Regarda lร oรน il รฉtait couchรฉ
Le petit Seigneur Jรฉsus
Endormi sur le foin
Le bรฉtail meugle
Le bรฉbรฉ se rรฉveille
Mais petit Seigneur Jรฉsus
Pas de pleurs, il fait
Je t'aime, Seigneur Jรฉsus
Regarde du ciel
Et reste ร mes cรดtรฉs
Jusqu'ร ce que le matin soit proche
Sois prรจs de moi, Seigneur Jรฉsus
Je te demande de rester
Prรจs de moi pour toujours
Et aime-moi je prie
Bรฉnis tous les chers enfants
Dans tes tendres soins
Et prรฉpare-nous pour le paradis
Vivre avec toi lร -bas
