Away in a manger no crib for his bed The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head The stars in the 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 side until morning is nigh. Be near me lord Jesus I ask you to stay Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray Bless all the dear children in my tender care And take us to heaven, to live with you there. Away in a manger no crib for his bed The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head The stars in the sky looked down where he lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hayyy.
