the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; 
the stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, 
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. 
2 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, 
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. 
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
and stay by my side until morning is nigh. 
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay 
close by me forever, and love me, I pray. 
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care, 
and fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
