14240. In A Manger Laid

1 Just a little baby,
In a manger laid,
Cattle all around Him,
Yet He’s not afraid.

2 God is watching o’er Him,
Angels hover round,
Wise men came and worshiped,
Bowing to the ground.

3 Spreading gifts before Him,
Frankincense and gold,
Things a tiny baby
Surely couldn’t hold.

4 Just the sweetest baby,
Mother ever won,
Yet the Lord of glory,
God’s belovèd Son.
