Lyrics[]

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

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
Close by me forever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with you there
