Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 The cradle are glowing the baby awakes The little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes I love you Lord Jesus, look down from the sky And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay Close by forever and love me I pray Bless all the dear children in your tender care And fit us for heaven to live with you there
