Sda hymnal 124 – Away in a Manger

Away in a Manger

Verse 1:
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His
sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked down
where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Verse 2:
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 side till the morning is nigh.

Verse 3:
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 fit us for heaven, to live with Thee there.
