|
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, |
|
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head. |
|
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, |
|
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay. |
|
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 till morning is nigh. |
|
Sweet bells they ring, they ring out the news today, |
|
That Christ was born, was born on Christmas day, |
|
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay |
|
Close by me for ever and love me, I pray. |
|
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care |
|
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there. |
|
Sweet bells they ring they ring out the news |
|
That Christ was born, was born on Christmas Day, |
|
That Christ was born, was born on Christmas day. |
