Author: Anonymous; John Thomas McFarland, 1851 - 1913 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #47 (1958) Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for his 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. A-men.
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 to watch lullaby.
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.
