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 cattle are lowing the baby awakes the little Lord Jesus no crying He makes I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky And stay by my cradle 'Til 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 for heaven to live with Thee there Away in a manger no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head Lord of all creation lay down His sweet head The Savior of the nation lay down His sweet head
