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
