verse 1
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the heavens looked down where He lay;
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

verse 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 side until morning is nigh.

verse 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 fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.

Lullaby and goodnight,
Jesus, rest Your head on a manger bed,
Lullaby and goodnight,
Hear the angels sing of the newborn King.
