Am C F C
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
Am C F C
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
Am F C E
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay;
Am F Dm E
The little lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
Am C F C
But little lord Jesus, no crying he makes;
Am C F C
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
Am F C E
I love thee, lord Jesus, look down from the sky
Am F Dm E
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
Am C F C
Be near me, lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay,
Am C F C
Close by me forever and love me, I pray;
Am F C E
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
Am F Dm E
And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
