Author: Anonymous; John T. McFarland, 1851-1913 Hymnal: Total Praise #203 (2011) Meter: 11.11.11.11 First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bead Lyrics: 1 Away in a manger, no crib for a 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 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 cradle till morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus! I ask You to stay
Close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in Your tender care,
And fit us for heaven, to live with You there. Topics: Children's Hymns; Christmas; Heaven; Jesus Christ His Love and Mercy; Jesus Christ Our Love For Jesus; Prayer and Intercession Scripture: Luke 2:6 Languages: English Tune Title: CRADLE SONG
