Tune: | [Away in a manger] |
Composer: | Martin Luther |
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 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.
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,
Prepare us for heaven,
To live with Thee there.
