Lyrics for Away in a Manger

 Written 17th November 2002. Vocals: Forster Park Choir.

   

 

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

 

Away in a manger no crib for a bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head.

The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay.

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

 

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

 

The cattle are lowing, the Baby awakes.

But little Lord Jesus no crying He makes.

I love Thee, Lord Jesus. Look down from the sky

And stay by my side, 'Til morning is nigh.

 

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

 

BREAK

 

Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever and love me I pray.

Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care,

And take us to heaven to live with Thee there.

 

Away in, away in, away in a manger.

Away in, away in, away in a manger.
