Introduction
All Verses

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.

Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,) asleep, the Savior in a stall! Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,) asleep, 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.

Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,) asleep, the Savior in a stall! Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,) asleep, the Lord of all.

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

Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,) asleep, the Savior in a stall! Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,) asleep, the Lord of all.
