[Chorus]
D
Away in a manger
   G            D
No crib for His bed
    A
The little Lord Jesus
D
Laid down His sweet head
                 A
The stars in the sky
       G             D
Looked down where He lay
    A           D
The little Lord Jesus
 G            D        A
Asleep on the hay
[Verse 1]

The cattle are lowing
    G     D
The Baby awakes
        A
But the little Lord Jesus

No crying He makes
D
I love Thee, Lord Jesus
     G             D
Look down from the sky
    A          D
And stay by my cradle
     G          D     G  D  G  D        A
'Til morning is nigh
[Verse 2]

Be near me, Lord Jesus

I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever

And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
   G          D
In Thy tender care

And take us to heaven

To live with Thee there

The stars in the sky

Looked down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus

Asleep on the hay

The little Lord Jesus
