There are many different melodies for "Away in a Manger" - I think I've heard more than 10 musical settings including one in a minor key. This is a "lullaby" setting, in 6/8 time to present a two-pulse feel (back and forth, like rocking a baby) in two groups of three rather than a 3-beat feel; although the song is slow enough to direct the eighth notes.
The accompaniment is for piano or harp. For accompanists, I recommend using the 8.5"x11" version that can be downloaded below and printed because it is larger and the music can lay flat so that there are no page turns.
The soprano part has a fairly high tessitura (range within which most notes of a vocal part fall), so it can be a little high for some sopranos. I'm reluctant to lower it because I like the Db and Eb keys for this song.
