[Verse 1]
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
As the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

[Verse 2]
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes
But the little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my side till morning is nigh

[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 Thy tender care
And fit us for Heaven to live with You there
