always in a manger
no crib for his 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
the cattle are lowing
the poor baby wakes
but little the lord jesus
no crying he makes
i love thee, lord jesus
look down from sky
and story by my side
til morning is nigh
be near me lord gesus
l ask thee to stay
close by me forever
and love me pray
bless all the dear chidren
in thy tender care
and take us to heaven
to live with thee there
