View source for Away in a Manger (lyrics)

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

 

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 until 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
