Away In A Manger

Songwriter/Composer/Translator Traditional

 G        G7         C          G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
    D           D         C              G
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
    G            G7                C             G
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
    D7          G      Am       D7  G
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
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.

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
