AWAY IN A MANGER
[Traditional]
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 wakes,
But 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.
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.

And take us to heaven
To live with Thee there.
