Capo fret 2 (if necessary)
Away in a manger, No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus, Lay down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky, Looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay.
*Follow the same chord pattern for the rest of the song...
The cattle a-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 bedside, 'Till 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 fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
