Away in a Manger Lyrics by George Strait

Strait for the Holidays

1986

[Chorus]
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
[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
[Chorus]
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay
