Verse 1
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
Verse 2
The cattle are lowing the baby awakes
But little lord Jesus no crying He makes.
I love you lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Verse 3
Be near me lord Jesus I ask you to stay
Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with You there.
