Away in a Manger
Deck the Halls

I Am a Pilgrim 4/4

           V-7th            I
I am a pilgrim, and a stranger
                 IV                             I
Traveling through this wearisome land.
           I -7th                      IV
I got a home in that yonder city,
              I       V-7th            I
And it's not,    not made by hand

 

I got a mother, a sister, and a brother.
Who have gone on before.
I am determined to go and see them,
Over on that distant shore.

I'm goin' down to the river of Jordan.
Just to bathe my weary soul.
If I could just touch the hem of his garment.
I do believe it would make me whole.


Away in a Manger 3/4

I                                 IV         I
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
       V-7th                        I
The little Lord, Jesus, lay down his sweet head.
        I                              IV                   I
The stars in the sky Look down where He lay.
       V-7th         I        V-7th           I
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 till 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.
