124   Away in a Manger




[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.

[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.

[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 heaven to live with Thee there.
