E,3 Away in a manger E A E Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, B7 E The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. 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 til 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.
