Away in a manger, No crib for a bed,
DDCG
The little Lord Jesus, Lay down his sweet head.
GG7CG
The stars in the bright sky, Looked down where he lay
D7GAmD7G
The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay.
The cattle a-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 bedside, 'Till 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.
