Author: Anonymous; John T. McFarland, 1851-1913 Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #252 (2012) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Hymnal Title: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) First Line: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed Lyrics: 1 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.
2 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
And stay by my cradle till morning is nigh.
3 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,
And fit us for heaven, to live with thee there.
