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 bright 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 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 fit us to heaven

To live with Thee there
