What is the most popular Christmas carol? Perhaps it's “Away in a Manger”. It's quite old, written in the 19th century. Who wrote it? Who knows? It was published in a little book for Sunday schools in America. The music composer was William J. Kirkpatrick, originally a carpenter. There was a story among a lot of people that the song was originally sung by Martin Luther to his children. But that is not true. There are no original words in German. Here is the first verse in Cornish.
