Away in a manger no crib for a bed

The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay

Little lord Jesus asleep in the hay


The cattle are a-lowing the baby he awakes

But the little lord Jesus no crying he makes

I love you ohhh Jesus look down from the sky

And stay by my side until morning is nigh


Be near me Lord Jesus I asked you to stay

Close by me forever and love me I pray

Bless all of the children in your tender care

And keep us all together to live with you there
