Away in a Manger

##

  E                    A         E
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
     B7                     A              E
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
      E                    A             E
The stars in the sky look down where he lay,
     B7          E       F#m    B7  E
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

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

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

Away in a Manger (alternate tune)

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

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

    E                                   A
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
               E          A           B7
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
      E                                    A
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
