Away In A Manger (He Kapu Hanai) - Music by James Murray (1841- 1905)

 
He kapu hanai `oia ka moe
No ke kama iki e hiamoe ai
Nânâ mai la na hôkû ma i luna mai
Iâ Iesu ka Haku o moe la`i ana

Uwê nei na pipi ala na`i Ia
O ke Kama iki `a`ole uwê
Nou ku`u aloha e ka Haku Iesu
E ku ma ko`u moe a ao ho`i ka pô

 

Away in a manger, no crib for his head
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the 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 thee Lord Jesus ook down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
