1. Away in a manger, No crib for his bed, The little Lord Jesus Lay down his wee head; The stars in the heavens Looked down where he lay. The little Lord Jesus A sleep 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 were 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 side until 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 take us to 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.
