Verse 1 
	  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. 
	  
	  Verse 2 
	  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. 
	  
	  Verse 3 
	  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.
