Melody - William J. Kirkpatrick
Away in a Manger Text John Thomas
McFarland
1. 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.
2. 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 till morning is nigh.
3. 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. |
