Sleep, My Little Jesus

Sleep, my little Jesus

On Thy bed of hay

While the shepherds homeward

Journey on their wayMother is Thy shepherd

And will her vigil keep

Did the voices wake Thee?

Oh sleep, my Jesus, sleep!Softly sleep, sweetly sleep

My Jesus, sleep!Sleep, my little Jesus

While Thou art my own!

Ox and ass Thy neighbors

Shalt Thou have a throne?Will they call me blessed?

Shall I stand and weep?

Be it far, Jehovah!

Oh sleep, my Jesus, sleep!Softly sleep, sweetly sleep

My Jesus, sleep!Sleep, my little Jesus

Wonder-baby mine!

Well the singing angels

Greet Thee as divineThrough my heart, as heaven

Low the echoes sweep

Of glory to Jehovah!

Oh sleep, my Jesus, sleep!Softly sleep, sweetly sleep

My Jesus, sleep!
