Away in a manger, 
No crib for His bed 
The little Lord Jesus 
Laid down His sweet head 

The stars in the bright 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 side, 
'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
