AWAY IN A MANGER (Kirkpatrick)

William J. Kirkpatrick

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

The cattle are lowing/ The poor Baby wakes/ 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

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
