Away In A Manger

Traditional Christmas

*(7) means that the A7 is optional*

D G D

A-way in a manger, no crib for a bed,

A(7) G D

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.

D G D

The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,

G D A(7) D

The little Lord Jesus, a-sleep on the hay.

D G D

The cattle are lowing, the baby a-wakes,

A(7) G D

But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.

D G D

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,

G D A(7) D

And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.

D G D

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

A(7) G D

Close by me forever, and love me, I pray.

D G D

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,

G D A(7) D

And take us to heaven to live with Thee there.
