Away in the manger
No crib for his bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
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
Away in the manger
No crib for his bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
