Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
B7 B7 E E
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
E E A E
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
B7 E A (B7) E
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
Vocals only
Be near me...
