AWAY IN A MANGER

 

G        G7         C          G

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

    D           D          C              G

The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head.

    G            G7                 C             G

The stars in the bright sky, looked down where he lay

    D7          G       Am       D7  G

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 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.
