Away In a Manger

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.
