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 side until morning is
Nigh.

Be near me, lord jesus; i ask thee to
Stay
Close by me for ever, and love me, i
Pray,
Bless all the dear children in thy
Tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with
Thee there.
