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. 

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. 

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 Your tender care, 

And fit us for heaven, to live with You there.
