Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #309a (2004) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a bed,
the little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head;
the stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
2 The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying He makes.
I love You, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask You to stay
close by me forever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Your tender care,
and fit us for heaven to live with You there.
