Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
'Til morning is nigh. ___________________________________________________
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
And love me I pray. ___________________________________________________
The cattle are lowing
The poor Baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head. _________________________________________________
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
No crying He makes. ___________________________________________________
Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever
To live with Thee there. ___________________________________________________
Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven
Asleep on the hay. ___________________________________________________
