(trad)

away in a manger, no cry for a bed
the little load jesus laid down his sweet head
the stars in the bright sky,look down where he lay
the little load jesus, asleep on the hay

the cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
but little load jesaus, no crying he makes
i love thee load jesus, look down from the sky
and stay by my side until morning is nigh

be near me, load 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

and takes us to heaven, to live with thee there
