Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 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 fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there. | |
