AWAY IN A MANGER
FULL BAND
INTRO/OUTRO: E A E A E B
E A E
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
B A E
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head.
E A E
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
A E B E
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
E A E
The cattle are lowing the baby awakes,
B A E
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.
E A E
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
A E B E
And stay by my cradle ‘til morning is nigh.
E A E
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
B A E
Close by me forever, and love me I pray.
E A E
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
A E B E
And take us to heaven to live with thee there.
