Away in a manger no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head

The stars in the high sky looked down where he lay

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 the Lord Jesus look down from the sky

And stay by my side till morning is night

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 take us to heaven to live with thee there
