1. Away in a manger,No crib for his bed,The little Lord JesusLay down his wee head;The stars in the heavensLooked down where he lay,The little Lord JesusAsleep 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 sideuntil 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 stayClose by me forever,And love me, I pray;Bless all the dear childrenIn 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.
