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 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 
Close by me forever
And love me, I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Thy tender care
And take us to heaven 
To live with Thee there
