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 on 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

until morning is night

Be near me, be near me,

Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus,

I ask you to stay

Close by me, close by me

Forever, Forever,

and love me, I pray

and love me, I pray

and love me, I pray
