[D] Away in a [D7-alt] manger, no [G] crib for a [D] bed
The [A] little Lord [A7] Jesus lay [G] down his sweet [D] head. 
The stars in the [D7-alt] sky, looked [G] down where he [D] lay.
The [A7] little Lord [D] Jesus a-[Em]sleep on [A7] the [D] hay. 

[D] The cattle are [D7-alt] lowing, the [G] baby a-[D]wakes,
But [A] little [A7] Lord Jesus no [G] crying he [D] makes.
I love Thee, Lord [D7-alt] Jesus, look [G] down from the [D] sky
And [A7] stay by my [D] cradle ‘til [Em] morning [A7] is [D] nigh. 

[D] Be near me, Lord Jesus, I [G] ask Thee to [D] stay
Close [A] by me for-[A7]ever, and [G] love me, I [D] pray
Bless all the dear [D7-alt] children in [G] thy tender [D] care,
And [A7] take us to [D] heaven, to [Em] live with [A7] Thee [D] there.
