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 in the hay
Glory in the highest, let the heavens sing
Peace on earth is given with the newborn King
Shepherds bow before Him, angels spread the news
Joyful hallelujahs for the King of Jews
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes
I love You, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh
Glory in the highest, let the heavens sing
Peace on earth is given with the newborn King
Shepherds bow before Him, angels spread the news
Joyful hallelujahs for the King of Jews
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 take us to heaven to live with You there
Glory in the highest, let the heavens sing
Peace on earth is given with the newborn King
Shepherds bow before Him, angels spread the news
Joyful hallelujahs for the King of Jews
In our hearts forever let Your light so shine
Guiding us to wisdom, love, and truth divine
With grateful voices we lift this humble song
Praising You, Lord Jesus, all our whole lives long
