"Away In A Manger" lyrics

"Away In A Manger"

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

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 cradle
'Til morning is nigh

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
