1 * 4 1
A-way in a manger, no crib for a bed
57 * 1 *
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
1 * 4 1
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
57 1 2m . 5 1
The little Lord Jesus a-sleep on the hay
1 * 4 1
The cattle are lowing, the Baby a-wakes
57 * 1 *
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
1 * 4 1
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
5 1 2m . 5 1
And stay by my side until mor-ning is nigh
1 * 4 1
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
57 1 2m 5
Close by me for-ever and love me I pray
1 * 4 1
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
5 1 2m . 5 1
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there
