D Away in a manger, G D no crib for a bed A7 The little Lord Jesus G D lay down His sweet head D The stars in the bright sky G D look down where He lay A7 D The little Lord Jesus Em D 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.
