In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire
Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of
Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register. So Joseph also went up from the
town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged
to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be
married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the
baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and
placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. (NIV) Matt 1:25 But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. (NIV) |

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep in the hay. Away in manger, no crib for a bed, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head; The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep in 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. The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the Hay. Martin Luther |
