AWAY IN A MANGER, NO CRIB FOR A 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.
  
   BE NEAR ME, LORD JESUS; I ASK THEE TO
   STAY
   CLOSE BY ME FOR EVER, AND LOVE ME, I
   PRAY,
   BLESS ALL THE DEAR CHILDREN IN THY
   TENDER CARE,
   AND FIT US FOR HEAVEN TO LIVE WITH
   THEE THERE.
