Away in a mangerno crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesuslays down his sweet head.
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesusasleep on the hay

The cattle are lowingthe baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love TheeLord Jesuslook down from the sky
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.

Be near meLord JesusI ask Thee to stay
Close by me foreverand love meI pray.
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heavento live with Thee there.
