Away in a Manger

Away in a Manger - Songs For Children

Away in a manger no crib for a bed

The little lord Jesus

Lay 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 night

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 on heaven to live with thee there
