Am C F C Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Am C F C The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head Am F C E The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay; Am F Dm E The little lord Jesus asleep in the hay. Am C F C But little lord Jesus, no crying he makes; Am C F C The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, Am F C E I love thee, lord Jesus, look down from the sky Am F Dm E And stay by my side until morning is nigh. Am C F C Be near me, lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay, Am C F C Close by me forever and love me, I pray; Am F C E Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, Am F Dm E And fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
