The song was first published with two verses in an Evangelical Lutheran Sunday School collection, Little Children's Book for Schools and Families (1885), edited by James R. Murray (1841–1905), where it simply bore the title "Away in a Manger" and was set to a tune called "St. Kilda," credited to J.E. Clark.
I created this arrangement for the Sierra Vista United Methodist Church (SVUMC).
This piece is best played using the Pipe Organ preset from the "GeneralUser GS.sf2" Soundfont by S. Christian Collins Software (http://www.schristiancollins.com/generaluser.php).

Thank you for this arrangement. I played the piano and organ part with VSTs to make a nice (I think arrangement for my families Christmas enjoyment.
