Away in a Manger

1.	Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 
	the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet
	head.
	The stars in the sky looked down where he
	lay,
	the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.


2.	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 nigh.
	


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 fit us for heaven to live with thee
	there.
