away in a manger

away in a manger

no crib for his bed

the little lord jesus

laid down his sweet head;

the stars in the heavens

looked down where he lay

the little lord jesus

asleep on the hay. the cattle are lowing

the poor baby wakes

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 fit us for heaven

to live with thee there. away in a manger

no crib for his bed

the little lord jesus

laid down his sweet head;

the stars in the heavens

looked down where he lay

the little lord jesus

asleep on the hay.
