D 3/4 1st note: 5
D G D
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
A7 G D
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
D G D
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
A7 D Em A7 D
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
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 cradle 'til morning is nigh
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
