"Away In A Manger" lyrics

Away In A Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head
The stars in the heavens
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

For unto you is born this day
In the city of David
A Saviour
Which is Christ the Lord
And this shall be a sign unto you
Ye shall find the babe
Wrapped in swaddling clothes
Lying in a manger

And suddenly there was with the angel
A multitude of the heavenly host
Praising God and saying
"Glory to God in the highest
And on earth peace
And good will towards men"

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 take us to heaven
To live with Thee there

Please, take us to heaven
To live with Thee there
