Away in a manger (Tune: Cradle Song) (New English Hymnal 22)

                                  Away in a-a manger

No-o crib for a bed

The-e little Lord Jesus 

Lai-aid down his sweet head

The stars in the-e bright sky 

Loo-ooked down where he lay

The-e little Lord Jesus 

A-asleep on the hay



The cattle are-are lowing

The-e baby awakes

Bu-ut little Lord Jesus

No-o crying he makes

I love thee, Lor-ord Jesus! 

Loo-ook down from the sky

A-and stay by my side 

Unti-il morning is nigh



Be near me Lo-ord Jesus

I-I ask thee to stay

Clo-ose by me forever

A-and love me I pray

Bless all the dear-ear children

I-in thy te-ender care-are

And fit us for heaven

To-oo live wi-ith thee-ee there
