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 til
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.
