- 1Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,
- The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
- The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,--
- The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
- 2The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby wakes,
- But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes;
- I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
- And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
- 3Amen.
