NCH 35

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed;

Hymn Text

Verse 1

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 on the hay.

Verse 2

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 the morning is nigh.

Verse 3

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 heavèn, to live with thee there.
