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 ♪ 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 ♪ Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King of Israel Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel Born is the King Born is the King Born is the King of Israel
