Away in a Manger

Lyrics

1. 1. Away in a manger, no crib for his 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 on the hay.

2. [Chorus]

   Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,)

   asleep, the Savior in a stall!

   Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,)

   asleep, the Lord of all.

3. 2. The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes;

   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.

4. 3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay

   Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

   Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,

   And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
