Away in a manger
No crib for his bed
The little baby Jesus
lay down his sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
looked down where He lay
The little baby Jesus
Asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
The poor baby awakes
But little boy Jesus
No crying He makes

I miss you innocence
when I look up the sky
Please stay by my side
'Til morning is nigh

Be near me, innocence
I ask you to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray

Bless all the dear children
In your tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with you there
