JJ Johnson Band - Away in a Manger Away Lyrics

Away In a Manger
Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
The stars in the sky looked down where he lay
The little lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing the sweet baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus no crying he makes
I love thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my side till morning is nigh

Away in a manger away on Christmas day hey hey

Sweet bells they ringing out news today
Jesus our Lord born on Christmas day
Be near me lord Jesus I ask thee to stay
Close by me for ever and love me I pray

Away in a manger away ay ay Away in a manger away
On Christmas day ay ay

Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to Heaven to live with thee there
Sweet bells they ringing out good news today
Jesus our Lord born on Christmas day
Away in a manger away ay ay Away in a manger away on Christmas day ay ay
