Cântăre Away in a manger

AWAY IN A MANGER, NO CRIB FOR A BED

THE LITTLE LORD JESUS LAID DOWN HIS

SWEET HEAD.

THE STARS IN THE BRIGHT SKY LOOKED

DOWN WHERE HE LAY

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 SIDE UNTIL MORNING IS

NIGH.



BE NEAR ME, LORD JESUS; I ASK THEE TO

STAY

CLOSE BY ME FOR EVER, AND LOVE ME, I

PRAY,

BLESS ALL THE DEAR CHILDREN IN THY

TENDER CARE,

AND FIT US FOR HEAVEN TO LIVE WITH

THEE THERE.
