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 poor 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 night.
~~~
Be near me Lord Jesus I ask ye 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 ye there.
