C                                Dm
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed
    G           C         D7             G
The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
    C                                            Dm
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
    G           C      Dm           C
The little lord Jesus asleep in the hay


[Verse 2]
                                 Dm
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
    G           C         D7        G
But little lord Jesus, no crying he makes
  C                                         Dm
I love thee, lord Jesus, look down from the sky
    G          C         Dm         C
And stay by my side till morning is nigh


[Verse 3]
                                      Dm
Be near me, lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
      G         C        D7         G
Close by me for ever and love me, I pray
      C                                   Dm
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
    G          C         Dm             C
And take us to heaven to live with thee there
