away in a Manger

Away in a Manger

(Melodie: William Kirkpatrick Text: Little Children's Book for Schools and Family USA 1885)

Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep in the hay

The cattle are lowing
The Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes

I love you, Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my side,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask you to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In your tender care
And fit us to heaven
To live with you there.
