Away In a Manger

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 The cattle are lowing the poor baby awakes But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes I love the Lord Jesus look down from the sky And stay by my cradle 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 takes us for heaven to live with thee there 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 --- Away In A Manger - Loretta Lynn
