<p>Sleep, my little Jesus,<br>
|
|
On Thy bed of hay,<br>
|
|
While the shepherds homeward<br>
|
|
Journey on their way.<br>
|
|
Mother is Thy shepherd<br>
|
|
And will her vigil keep:<br>
|
|
Did the voices wake Thee?<br>
|
|
O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Softly sleep, sweetly sleep,<br>
|
|
My Jesus, sleep!</p>
|
|
<p>Sleep, my little Jesus,<br>
|
|
While Thou art my own!<br>
|
|
Ox and ass Thy neighbors,<br>
|
|
Shalt Thou have a throne?<br>
|
|
Will they call me blessèd?<br>
|
|
Shall I stand and weep?<br>
|
|
Be it far, Jehovah!<br>
|
|
O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Sleep, my little Jesus,<br>
|
|
Wonder-baby mine!<br>
|
|
Well the singing angels<br>
|
|
Greet Thee as divine.<br>
|
|
Through my heart, as heaven<br>
|
|
Low the echoes sweep<br>
|
|
Of glory to Jehovah!<br>
|
|
O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!</p>
