Away In A Manger (Interlude)

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 in 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 'til morning is nigh



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 take us to Heaven, to live with Thee there
