"Away In A Manger" lyrics

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay

The cattle are lowing, the pour 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
Beside me forever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven
And take us to heaven to live with thee there
