Away In A Manger
Martin Luther and John McFarland

E                    A            E
Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,
    B7                     E
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
                            A             E
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
    B7          E        A       B7  E
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

                           A     E
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
    B7                   E
But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes.
                             A             E
I love Thee Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
    B7         E           A       B7  E
And stay by my cradle till morning is  nigh.

                          A           E
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay,
      B7                 E
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
                               A          E
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
    B7         E         A         B7   E
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there.
