Story Behind the Song
I love this song, and really wanted to record it.
Lyrics
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
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 til morning is nigh
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 thy tender care and take us to heaven, to live with you there, to live with you there.
