Away In a Manger

Anne Murray


Tom: G

G                    C         G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
     D7                     C              G
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.
      G                      C             G
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay,
     D7            G     Am       D7  G
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

    G                       C           G
The cattle are lowing, the poor Baby awakes,
    D7                      C         G
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
   G                           C             G
I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,
     D7            G    Am         D7   G
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.

     G                    C            G
Be near me, Lord Jesus; I ask Thee to stay
      D7                  C         G
Close by me forever and love me, I pray.
       G                        C          G
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
     D7           G       Am        D7    G
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there.
