93. Away in a Manger

1 Away in a manger,
No crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky...
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus,
Asleep on the hay.

2 The cattle are lowing,
The poor baby wakes,
But little Lord Jesus,
No crying He makes;
I love Thee, Lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky,
And stay by my cradle
To watch lullaby.
