Away in a Manger

This christmas favorite can be sung as a solo, duet, or 2-part choir. The first 2 verses are with the original melody, and the 3rd verse has a different melody with an added harmony part.


Away in a manger no crib for his 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.

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes;
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.

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.

Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever to live with Thee there.
