Lyrics with chords

C Away in a manger, no F crib for a C bed,

the little Lord Jesus laid G7 down his sweet head.

The C stars in the bright sky looked F down where he C lay,

the F little Lord C Jesus aG7 sleep on the C hay.

The cattle are lowing, the F baby aC wakes,

but little Lord Jesus, no G7 crying he makes.

I C love thee, Lord Jesus! look F down from the C sky,

and F stay by my C cradle till G7 morning is C nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus; I F ask thee to C stay

close by me forever, and G7 love me I pray.

Bless C all the dear children in F thy tender C care,

and F take us to C heaven to G7 live with thee C there.
