A Festival of Lessons and Carols 1958 - Away in a manger - The Choir of King's College Cambridge

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 poor 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 to heaven to live with thee there
