The Song: Away in a Manger 

Lyrics 

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

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;

The stars in the heavens looked down where he lay,

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

(Chorus)

Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Savior in a stall!

(2nd part) Asleep, asleep, Asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord of all.

(2nd part) asleep, asleep, asleep, the Lord, the Lord of all.

2.  The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes; 

But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes

I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky

And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

(Chorus)

3.  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 they tender care,

And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.

(Chorus)
