GAway in a manger, no Ccrib for a Gbed,
The lD7ittle Lord Jesus laid dCown his sweet hGead.
The stGars in the sky looked dCown where he lGay,
The lD7ittle Lord JesGus, asAmleep on tD7he hGay.
The Gcattle are lowing, the pCoor Baby awaGkes,
But D7little Lord Jesus, no crCying he maGkes.
I lGove Thee, Lord Jesus; look dCown from the sGky,
And sD7tay by my cradGle 'tAmil morning D7is niGgh.
Be neGar me, Lord Jesus; I Cask Thee to sGtay
Close D7by me forever and loCve me, I pGray.
Bless aGll the dear children in TChy tender cGare,
And fD7it us for heaGven to lAmive with TD7hee thGere.

G C G

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,

D7 C G

The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

G C G

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,

D7 G Am D7 G

The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

G C G

The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes,

D7 C G

But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.

G C G

I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,

D7 G Am D7 G

And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.

G C G

Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay

D7 C G

Close by me forever and love me, I pray.

G C G

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,

D7 G Am D7 G

And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
