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 laid
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay
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 'til morning is nigh
Sleep well, little children, wherever you are
Tomorrow is Christmas beneath every star
Soon the snowflakes will fall, and tomorrow you'll see
Every wish, one and all, waiting under the tree
Sleep well, little children, pleasant dreams through the night
Tomorrow is Christmas, all merry and bright
Soon you'll hear the bells ring, time for dreams to come true
As the world wakes, you dream, Merry Christmas to you
♪
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
