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 layThe little 
Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the 
Baby awakes
But little 
Lord Jesus, no crying 
He makesI love 
Thee, Lord 
Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my bedside 'til morning is nigh
Be near me, 
Lord Jesus, 
I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me, 
I prayBless all the dear children in 
Thy tender care
And fit us to heaven to live with 
Thee there
