Charles Ives - Christmas Carol lyrics

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
