GCG
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
DCG
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
GCG
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
DGAmDG
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee 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 Thee there.
