Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus, lay 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 poor baby wakes
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

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus, lay down His sweet head
The stars in the heavens looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus, lay down His sweet head
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

Stay by my cradle ′til morning is nigh
