AWAY IN A MANGER (SONGS OF THE SEASON)

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 in the hay

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 
’Til 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 take us to heaven
To live with Thee there.

Lyrics: James R. Murray, William Kirkpatricks
Melody:  William Kirkpatrick
