Author: John T. McFarland, 1851-1913; Anonymous Hymnal: Total Praise #204 (2011) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Scripture: Luke 2:6 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bead Lyrics: 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,
And take us to heaven, to live with Thee there. Topics: Children's Hymns; Christmas; Heaven; Jesus Christ Our Love For Jesus; Prayer and Intercession Languages: English Tune Title: MUELLER
