C                                  F            C
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
       G                                    F                        C
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
           C                                    F                       C
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
         F                 C          G                C    F   C
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

 

        C                                  F            C
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
        G                                 F                C
The little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes
     C                                          F                     C
I love you Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
          F                  C             G                C    F   C
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh

 

        C                                   F              C
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
          G                               F              C
Close by me forever, and love me I pray
          C                                       F                  C
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
           F              C              G                    C    F   C
And take us to heaven to live with you there
