Away In A Manger
Traditional Christmas


*(7) means that the A7 is optional*


  D                   G          D
A-way in a manger, no crib for a bed,
    A(7)                   G              D
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.
    D                       G             D
The stars in the sky looked down where He lay, 
    G           D        A(7)          D
The little Lord Jesus, a-sleep on the  hay. 


D                          G      D
The cattle are lowing, the baby a-wakes,
    A(7)                  G         D 
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes. 
D                             G             D
I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky, 
    G          D           A(7)       D
And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh.


D                         G           D
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
A(7)                     G          D
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. 
D                              G          D
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, 
    G          D         A(7)           D
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there.
