Away In A Manger

Away In A Manger

(album: Joy: Songs For Christmas, Vol. IV - 2006)

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 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
until morning is night

Be near me, be near me,
Lord Jesus, Lord Jesus,
I ask you to stay

Close by me, close by me
Forever, Forever,
and love me, I pray
and love me, I pray
and love me, I pray

done
