Away in a manger

No crib for his bed

The little Lord Jesus

Laid down his sweet head

The stars in the heavens

Looked down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay

Away in a manger

No crib for his bed

The little Lord Jesus

Laid down his sweet head

The stars in the heavens

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 cradle

till morning is nigh

Be near me, Lord Jesus

I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever

And love and ask me to stay

Bless all the dear children

In Thy tender care

The stars in the heaven

Look down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay
