Intro: / A - - / E - - / B7 - - / E - - /
E (2) A E
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
B7 (2) E (2)
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
E (2) A E
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay;
A E B7 E (2)
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
E (2) A E
The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes.
B7 (2) E (2)
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
E A E
I love Thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
A E B7 E (2)
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
E (2) A E
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
B7 (2) E (2)
Close by me forever and love me I pray
E (2) A E
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
A E B7 E (hold)
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there
