[Verse 1]
 C                   F          C
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed                                                      
    G7                    F/C            C                      
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head.
                                   F             C
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
    G7          C     Dm            C
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.
[Verse 2]
    C                      F    C
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
    G7                   F/C       C
But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
                              F             C
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
    G7         C          Dm         C
And stay by my cradle til morning is nigh.
[Verse 3]
   Am                     F           C
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
      Em                 F/C        C
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray
      Am                       F          C
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care,
    G7         C          Dm             C
