Away in a manger,
No crib for His 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


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 side,
'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
