Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head.
The stars in the sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
A sleep in 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.
