Author: Martin Luther Hymnal: Christian Hymns #388 (1935) First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for His bed Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus asleep in the hay.
2 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 take us to glory, to live with Thee there.
