Away in a manger, No crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus, Lay down his sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky, Looked down where he lay
G D A7 D
The little Lord Jesus, Asleep on the hay.
VERSE 2:

The cattle a-lowing, The baby awakes;

But little Lord Jesus, No crying he makes.

And stay by my bedside, ‘Til morning is Nigh.

And fit us for heaven, To live with thee there.
