Come away to the manger
Our Lord Christ to see.
Most sweet, fair and holy
Of all babes is he.
Come away, come away
To see the dear child,
Whose face is so tender,
Gentle and mild.

Shepherds come and him worship
As he lies in his bed,
And even fair Mary
Doth bow her sweet head.
Come away, come away
To see the dear child,
Whose face is so tender,
Gentle and mild.

Then in walk the wise men
Our Lordship to see,
With gold, myrrh and incense
And give Christ all three.
Come away, come away
To see the dear child,
Whose face is so tender,
Gentle and mild.

All worship Christ then
In the morning so dim.
We also must kneel
And thank God for him.
Come away, come away
To see the dear child,
Whose face is so tender,
Gentle and mild.
