A traditional Christmas carol of uncertain origin, often attributed to James R. Murray, with Brad Paisley's version blending country instrumentation into the hymn.
"Away in a Manger" is one of the most popular Christmas carols in the English-speaking world. First published in the late 19th century, its melody and lyrics have been attributed to various figures, including Martin Luther, James R. Murray, and William J. Kirkpatrick, though its exact origins remain a mystery. It is often the first carol children learn due to its simple, sentimental lyrics depicting the nativity of Jesus from a child's perspective.
