《馬槽歌》的歌詞如下：
遠遠在馬槽里，無枕也無床，小小的主耶穌，睡覺很安康。
眾明星都望著主睡的地方，小小的主耶穌，睡在乾草上。
眾牲畜嗚嗚叫，聖嬰忽驚醒，小小的主耶穌，卻無啼哭聲。
我真愛小耶穌，敬求近我身，靠近我小床邊，守我到天明。
恭敬求主耶穌，靠近我身旁，愛護我，接受我，做主的小羊。
也保護眾孩童，一齊都安康，叫我們都能夠跟主到天堂。
英文原版歌詞為：
Away in a manger, No crib for his bed, The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head. The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. The cattle are lowing, The baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus, Look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay, Close by me forever and love me, I pray! Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And take us to heaven, To live with thee there。
