G                    C         G 
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 
     D7                     C              G 
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. 
      G                      C             G 
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay, 
     D7            G     Am       D7  G 
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay. 
 
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, 
But 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.
