# Away in a Manger

####

> Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 in 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 take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
