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 sky

Looked down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep 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
