Away in a Manger

This is one of the most beautiful versions I have heard – enjoy.

AWAY IN A MANGER

1.. &.. 2.. &.. 3.. &..4

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.

1.. &.. 2.. &.. 3.. &..4

The cattle are lowing the baby awakes

But little lord Jesus no crying he makes.

I love you lord Jesus; look down from the sky

And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

1.. &.. 2.. &.. 3.. &..4

Be near me lord Jesus I ask you to stay

Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,

And fit us for heaven, to live with you there……………….
