There are many variations of this text, each with its own melody. Though the music varies, each version reflects the bright faith and unconditional love of a child learning to recognize and worship the Savior of the World when he first appeared as a tiny baby, born in Bethlehem. Quoting from several of the most familiar tunes, this setting creates a rich harmonic texture to adorn William Kirkpatrick’s melody and the anonymous text as found in the LDS Hymnal (HYMNS, 1985).

Sweet and simple and singable!!
Thanks so much for your comment, Ana (and sorry for the late response)!
I like this arrangement but I don’t hear a cello part. Our music library has a copy of ‘Away In a Manger’ SATB, cello & piano.William J. Kirkpatrick, arr. Steven Smith (2001,2011 Soundsmith Music). There are plenty of copies for voices but I need the piano and cello accompaniments. Can you help?
