3/4 Time
D G D
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
A7 G D
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
G A7 D
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
A7 D Em D
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
D G D
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes;
A7 G D
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
G A7 D
I love Thee, Lord Jesus,look down from the sky;
A7 D Em D
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
D G D
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay,
A7 G D
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
G A7 D
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
A7 D Em D
And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
