Texty: Alan Jackson. Let It Be Christmas. Away In A Manger.

:
(Anonymous/John T. McFarland/James R. Murray)

Away in a manger, no crib for his bed
the little Lord Jesus laid 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 until morning is nigh

By near me Jesus Lord, I ask Three to stay

Close by me forever and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care

And take us to heaven to live with Three there
