[Verse]
F F C
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
C7 F Dm G7 C7
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
F F7 Bb
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay,
Gm C F Dm Bb6 C7 F
The little Lord Jesus, a-a-sleep on the hay.
[Verse]
F F C
The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes,
C7 F Dm G7 C7
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes;
F F7 Bb
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
Gm C F Dm Bb6 C7 F
And stay by my side unti-il morning is nigh.
[Verse]
F F C
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
C7 F Dm G7 C7
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray;
F F7 Bb
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,
Gm C F Dm Bb6 C7 F
And fit us for Heaven to-o live with Thee there.
