Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lays 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 Lord Jesus
No crying He makes,
I love thee, Lord Jesus,
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side till morn 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
To live with thee there
