AWAY IN A MANGER

  1. 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.
  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 side
    until morning is nigh.
  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 fit us for heaven,
    to live with Thee there.
