way in a manger no crib for a bed 
 The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head 
 The stars in the sky look down where he lay 
 The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay 
 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 
 nd stay in my cradle till morning is high 
 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 
 nd take us to heaven to live with thee there
