G                    C         G  
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,  
     D                     C              G  
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.  
      G                      C             G  
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,  
     D            G     Am       D  G  
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.  
  
    G                     C       G      
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,  
     D                     C           G 
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.  
     G                    C                 G 
I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,  
      D            G       Am       D    G 
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.  
 
      G                   C           G 
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay  
      D                    C         G       
Close by me forever and love me, I pray.  
      G                         C        G 
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,  
      D            G       Am       D     G 
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
