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
asleep on the hay
The cattle
are lowing
the baby awakes
But little
lord jesus
no crying
he makes
I love the
lord jesus
look down from
the sky
And stay
by my cradle
till morning
is night
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
the tender care
And take us
to heaven to live
with thee there
