Away in a manger (god rest ye merry gentlemen)

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray

Bless all the dear children in your tender care
And fit us for heaven, Lord, and live with me there
God rest ye, merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
For our comfort and joy
Away in manager, no crib for a bed
