Away In A Manger (Live on Top Gear: John Peel’s Christmas Carol Concert, BBC, 12/26/70) lyrics

[Verse 1]
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

[Verse 2]
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
