Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #643 (1920) 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 close by my side
Until morning is night.
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. Topics: Youth and School Life Younger Children Languages: English Tune Title: MANGER
