Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay, oh
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 staying by cradle
'Til morning is nigh
Away in a manger
Love came near
The hope of Heaven
Reach down and found us here
Great light of the world
Made the darkness disappear
Away in a manger
Love came near
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 lead us to Heaven
To live with Thee there
Oh, lead us to Heaven
To live with Thee there (oh, oh)
Away in a manger
Love came near (oh, oh)
The hope of Heaven
Reach down and found us here
Great light of the world
Made the darkness disappear
Away in a manger
Love came near
Away in a manger
Love came near
