Text: | Away in a Manger |
Author: | Martin Luther |
Tune: | [Away in a manger, no crib for a bed] |
Composer: | Carl Muller |
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.
2 The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes,
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.
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.
