G                      C         G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
     D7                    G
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
                                    C
The stars in the bright sky looked down
          G
where he lay,
     D            G      C           G
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 cradle till morning is nigh

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