Cradle Hymn
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright 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! look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
by Martin Luther
Martin Luther was born on 10 November 1483. He was a German theologian and leader of the Reformation movement. He began the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, and his followers soon split from the Roman Catholic Church to begin the Protestant tradition, leading to the division of Western Christendom between Roman Catholicism and the Protestant denominations. Martin Luther passed on at 62 years of age on 18 February 1546.
