​

(3/4 time . 4 bar intro)

​

Away in a Manger

No crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus

Lay down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky,

Look down where he lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay.

​

(4 bar interlude)

​

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 side

Until morning is nigh.

​

(4 bar interlude)

​

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.
