Away in a manger, no crib for a 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.
2. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray! Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, And fit us for haven, to live with thee there.
3. Then shepherds, be joyful, salute your liege king Let hills and dales ring to the song that ye sing Blest be the hour welcome born For Christ our dear Saviour on earth now is born.
4. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes, 51 I love thee Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
