[Verse 1]
 G        G7         C          G
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
    D           D          C              G
The little Lord Jesus, lay down his sweet head.
    G            G7                 C             G
The stars in the bright sky, looked down where he lay
    D7          G       Am       D7  G
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.


[Verse 2]
    G          G7          C     G
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes;
    D           D         C         G
But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
  G               G7          C             G
I love thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky,
    D7         G             Am      D7 G
And stay by my bedside, till morning is nigh.


[Verse 3]
   G            G7       C           G
Be near me Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay,
      D        D          C        G
Close by me forever, and love me I pray.
      G            G7           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.
