Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head The stars in the 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 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 me, I pray Bless all the dear children in thy tender care And take us to heaven to live with thee there
