Away in a manger

Away in a manger no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing the baby awakes

But little lLord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love you Lord Jesus; look down from the sky

And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Be near me Lord Jesus I ask you to stay

Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in your tender care,

And fit us for heaven, to live with you there.
