LDS Primary Songs | AWAY IN A MANGER | Children's Songbook

Lyrics
1. 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.

[Chorus]

Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,)
asleep, the Savior in a stall!

Asleep, (Asleep,) asleep, (asleep,)

asleep, the Lord of all.

2. 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.

3. 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.

Words: Anon., about 1883, Philadelphia

Music: Charles H. Gabriel, 1856–1932
