Away In a Manger
- Listen [ Real Audio | Mp3 ]
- Read [ Hymn Details | Sheet Music ]
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus lay down his
sweet head;
The stars in the bright sky look down where he lay,
The
little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
The cattle were 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 fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
