Away in the Manger

Away in the Manger SJV: 46

1. Away in a manger, no crib for his 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.

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 nigh.

3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
Close by me for ever and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with you there.
