AWAY IN A MANGER

Words: Stanzas one and two, anonymous (1885); Stanza three, anonymous (1892); Tune: MUELLER, James R. Murray (1887)

(FIRST VERSE)

Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head;

The stars in the sky
Looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus,
Asleep on the hay.

(SECOND VERSE)

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.

(THIRD VERSE)

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.
