"Away in a Manger" is a Christmas carol first published
in 1885 in Philadelphia and widely used in the
English-speaking world. In Britain, it is one of the
most popular songs. There are two different tunes for
"Away in a Manger," one of William J. Kirkpatrick
(1885), the other by James R. Murray (1887). Both
versions fit together quite well.
