AWAY IN A MANGER
Verse 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 they lay,
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay.
Verse 2
The cattle are lowing;
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love You, Lord Jesus,
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle,
Till morning is high.
Verse 3
Be near me, Lord Jesus;
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care,
And fit us for heaven
To live with You there.
