Away in a Manger
3rd - 4th Grade
Verse 1:
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky, looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
Verse 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, till morning is nigh.
Verse 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.
