D                    G         D
   Away in a manger no crib for a bed
        A7                     D
   The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
        D                       G             D
   The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
        G           D       A7           D
   The little Lord Jesus a-sleep on the hay
   
        D                     G      D  
   The cattle are lowing the Baby a-wakes
        A7                   D
   But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
      D                         G             D
   I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
        G          D           A7         D
   And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh
   
       D                    G           C
   Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
         A7                 D
   Close by me forever and love me I pray
          D                       G           C
   Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
        G         D         A7              D
   And take us to heaven to live with thee there
