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
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 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.
