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

2. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,

3. Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay,

1. the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

2. but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.

3. close by me forever and love me, I pray.

1. The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,

2. I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,

3. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,

1. the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

2. and stay by my bedside till morning is nigh.

3. and fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
