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.
