Away In A Manger

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 forever
And love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care.
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there.
