Away In a Manger
Charles H. Gabriel, James R. Murray
[Verse 1]
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
[Verse 2]
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the night sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh
(And stay by my side until morning is nigh)
[Verse 3]
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, love me, I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take take him to Heaven to live be with Thee there
And take take him to Heaven to live be with Thee there
