[Verse 1]
G G7 C G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
D D C G
The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head.
G G7 C G
The stars in the bright sky, looked down where he lay
D7 G Am D7 G
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.
[Verse 2]
G G7 C G
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes;
D D C G
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
G G7 C G
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
D7 G Am D7 G
And stay by my bedside, till morning is nigh.
[Verse 3]
G G7 C G
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay,
D D C G
Close by me forever, and love me I pray.
G G7 C G
Bless all the dear children, in thy tender care,
D7 G Am D7 G
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
