[key: F]
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 in the hay.
2. The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes:
I love You, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3. Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask You to stay
close by me for ever and love me, I pray;
bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
and fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
