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 ♪ 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 side 'til 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 Take us to heaven to live with Thee there
