Away In A Manger

MacFarland, John T. (1851-1913)

3 Verses Nativity & Christmas Children's Hymn

Verse 1

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head The stars in the sky looked down where he lay The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Verse 2

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 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 fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
