AWAY IN A MANGER

LYRICS

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay 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 you Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my bedside till morning in 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.
