Away in a Manger

Lyrics

1. 1. Away in a manger, no crib for his bed,

   The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;

   The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay,

   The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

2. 2. The cattle are lowing; the poor baby wakes,

   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.

3. 3. 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 fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
