Away in the Manger

Lyrics 1-2: ~ Anonymous, 3 ~ John Thomas McFarland, 1851-1913

Music ~ James R. Murray, 1841-1905



Stanza 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.



Stanza 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 cradle till morning is nigh.



Stanza 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.
