Away In A Manger

Away in a manger, away in a manger
Away in a manger, Lord Jesus Christ was born

Away in a manger, no crib for His 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

Away in a manger, away in a manger
Away in a manger, Lord Jesus Christ was born

The cattle are lowing, the poor 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 till morning is nigh

Away in a manger, away in a manger
Away in a manger, Lord Jesus Christ was born

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

Away in a manger, away in a manger
Away in a manger, away in a manger
