Lyrics

[Verse 1] Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus laid down hissweethead The stars inthe bright sky looked down wherehe lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
