Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus

Laid down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky

Look down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus asllep on the hay



The cattle are lowing

Poor baby awakes

The little Lord Jesus

No crying he makes

I love the Lord Jesus

Look down from the sky

And stay by my craddle

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

From thy tender care

And take us to heaven

To live with thee there.
