Verse 1:
  D                  G          D
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
    A                      Em       A     D
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
    D                       G             D
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay
    A           D       Em      A   D
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay


Verse 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 the cradle til morning is nigh


Verse 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 take us to heaven to live with Thee there
