Away In a Manger

Awa[A]y in a manger, no [D]crib for [A]a bed
The little [A]Lord Jesus lai[C#m]d down His swee[E]t head
The st[A]ars in the bright sky looke[D]d down wher[A]e He lay
The little [A]Lord J[D]esus a[E]sleep on th[A]e hay

Hear the[E] angels' soft singing, a [F#m]sweet[B] mel[E]ody
Mother M[E]ary b[A]esi[E]de him in s[B]erene re[E]velry

Th[A]e cattle are lowing, t[D]he baby a[A]wakes
But littl[A]e Lo[E]rd [A]Je[D]sus, no[A/E] crying [E]He [A]makes

[A] [D] [A] [D]
Aw[D]ay in a manger, sweet [F#m]emblem o[G]f love
Sent do[Em]wn from the [D]Father, preciou[Em]s gift from [A]above
I lov[D]e Thee, Lord Jesus, lo[F#m]ok down from[G] the sky
And sta[Em]y by my cr[D]adle till [Em]mornin[A]g is [D]nigh[Bb]

Be n[Bb]ear me, Lord Jesu[Eb]s, I ask Thee[Bb] to stay
Close [F]by me forever, an[Bb]d love me I pray
Bless [Bb]all the dear children in [Eb]Thy ten[Bb]der care
And t[F]ake us to h[Bb]eaven to [Cm]live with [F]Thee [Bb]there
T[F]ake us to he[Bb]aven to [Cm]live wit[F]h Thee [Bb]there

Aw[Bb]ay in a manger, n[Eb]o crib for a [Bb]bed
The li[Bb]ttle Lord Je[Eb]sus laid d[Bb/F]own H[F]is swe[Bb]et head
