Intro

 
 
[Verse]
 
Away   in   a   manger,   no   crib   for   a   bed
The   little   Lord   Jesus   lay   down   his   sweet   head.
The   stars   in   the   bright   sky   looked   down   where   he   lay,
The   little   Lord   Jesus   asleep   on   the   hay.
 
[Chorus]
This   humble   King,    to   you   we   sing
a   heavenly   child   born,   Emmanuel
your   majesty   in   a   manger   lay
all   glory   be     to   our   humble   King
 
[Verse]
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.
 
[Verse]
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   take   us   to   heaven,   to   live   with   Thee   there.
 
[Chorus]
This   humble   King,    to   you   we   sing
a   heavenly   child   born,   Emmanuel
your   majesty   in   a   man   -   ger   lay
all   glory   be     to   our   humble   King
 
[Interlude]
 
[Outro]
Be   near   me,   Lord   Jesus
I   ask   Thee   to   stay
Close   by   me   forever
