1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
The stars in the bright 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 you, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask you to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

1 Allá en el pesebre, do nace Jesús,
la cuna de paja nos vierte gran luz.
Estrellas lejanas del cielo al mirar
se inclinan gozosas su lumbre a prestar.
2 La vaca mugiendo despierta al Señor,
mas no llora el Niño pues es puro amor.
¡Oh vélanos, Cristo Jesús, sin cesar!
Y siempre felices habremos estar.
3 Oh Cristo, pedimos hoy tu bendición,
rogamos que atiendas a nuestra oración.
A todos, oh Cristo, now muestra amor,
nosotros te amamos también, Salvador.
