C Dm
Away in a manger, no crib for his bed
G C D7 G
The little lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
C Dm
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay
G C Dm C
The little lord Jesus asleep in the hay
[Verse 2]
Dm
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
G C D7 G
But little lord Jesus, no crying he makes
C Dm
I love thee, lord Jesus, look down from the sky
G C Dm C
And stay by my side till morning is nigh
[Verse 3]
Dm
Be near me, lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
G C D7 G
Close by me for ever and love me, I pray
C Dm
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
G C Dm C
And take us to heaven to live with thee there
