Away In The Manger Lyrics - Denver John

Away in a manger no crib for his bed 

The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head 

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay 

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 side '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 

Away in a manger no crib for his bed 

The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head 

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay 

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
