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 weary,The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.The cattle are moaning, 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 side until morning is nigh.Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stayClose by me forever and love me, I pray.Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,And fit us forever to live with Thee there.
