Away In a Manger 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 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.

Anne Shelton, OBE (born Patricia Jacqueline Sibley on November 10, 1923, in Dulwich, London, England - died on July 31, 1994 in in Hurstmonceux, England) was a popular English vocalist who is widely remembered for providing inspirational songs for soldiers both on radio broadcasts, and in person, at British military bases during World War II. She was the first artist to record an English version of Lale Andersen's wartime classic "Lili Marleen" (lyrics written by Tommy Connor), and she had a UK #1 hit in 1956 with "Lay Down Your Arms", that was engineered by Joe Meek.
