Away In A Manger

Capo I

 D                   G          D
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
    A                     G              D
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
    D                     G             D
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
    Em7         D/F#   G        A   D
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay


    D                      G     D
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes 
    A                     G         D
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes 
  D                           G             D
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky 
    Em7        D/F#        G       A   D
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is  nigh.

 
   D                      G           D
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay,
      A                  G         D
Close by me forever, and love me,I pray. 
      D                        G          D
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
    Em7        D/F#      G         A    D
And fit us for Heaven to live with Thee there.
