Away In A Manger Lyrics

John Rutter Away In A Manger

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
The little boy Jesus asleep on the hay
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 morning is nigh
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with Thee there
Sweet bells they ring, they ring out the news
That Christ was born, was born on Christmas Day
That Christ was born, was born on Christmas day
