Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

Author: John T. McFarland, 1851-1913 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #642 (2010) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions For the Young Lyrics: 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 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 for ever, and love me, I pray; bless all the dear children in thy tender care, and fit us for heaven to live with thee there.
