D
Away in a manger,
G D
no crib for a bed
A7
The little Lord Jesus
G D
lay down his sweet head
D
The stars in the bright sky
G D
look down where he lay
A7 D
The little Lord Jesus
Em A7 D
asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love the Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my side 'till morning is nigh
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 the there
