[Verse]
F F C Away in a manger, no crib for a bed C7 F Dm G7 C7 The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. F F7 Bb The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay, Gm C F Dm Bb6 C7 F The little Lord Jesus, a-a-sleep on the hay.
[Verse]
F F C The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes, C7 F Dm G7 C7 But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes; F F7 Bb I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky Gm C F Dm Bb6 C7 F And stay by my side unti-il morning is nigh.
[Verse]
F F C Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay C7 F Dm G7 C7 Close by me forever, and love me, I pray; F F7 Bb Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, Gm C F Dm Bb6 C7 F And fit us for Heaven to-o live with Thee there.
