Verse 1
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Verse 2
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh
Verse 3
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
