============================================================

AROUND THE GLORY MANGER II

They turned away Mary and a-Joseph
'Way from the inn.
They turned away Mary and a-Joseph
'Way from the inn.
They turned away Mary and a-Joseph
'Way from the inn;
And that's what made the Glory Manger!

CHO:
An' a Hallelujah, and a Hallelujah, Lord!
Wasn't that a bright Bethlehem morning
Around the Glory Manger?

They laid my pretty little Jesus
Down in the straw.
They laid my pretty little Jesus
Down in the straw.
They laid my pretty little Jesus
Down in the straw;
And that's what made the Glory Manger!

And all his pretty little fingers
Played in the straw.
All his pretty little fingers
Played in the straw.
And all his pretty little fingers
Played in the straw;
And that's what made the Glory Manger!

They laid my sweet King Jesus
In the Glory Manger.
They laid the blessed son of Mary
In the Glory Manger.
They laid my precious Lord of Glory
In the Glory Manger;
And that's what made the Glory--
That's what made the Glory--
That's what made the Glory Manger!
