Away In The Manger

Away In The Manger by William J. Kirkpatrick and James Ramsey Murray
 
D                    G          D
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed                                                      
    A7                    G              D
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
                                   G             D
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
    G           D      A7           D
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
 
    D                      G     D
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
    A7                   G         D
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
                              G             D
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
    G          D          A7         D
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
 
   D                      G           D
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
      A7                 G          D
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
                               G          D
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
    G          D          A7             D
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there.
