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
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
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus
Come near to me
Come close to me, O Lord
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
