Couplet 1

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down
His sweet head
The stars in the bright
Sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep
On the hay

Couplet 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 'til
Morning is nigh

Couplet 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
