Lyrics Sleep My Little Lord Jesus - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Sleep My Little Lord Jesus

Angels sang in the heaven of old
A bright star shown on the shepherd fold
Wise men worshiped the holy one
And a mother smiled at her baby son.
Sleep, sleep, my little lord Jesus.
Sleep
The child grew strong and wise and good
The grace of God he understood
His mighty deeds did every show
God’s wondrous love for us we
Sleep, sleep, my little lord Jesus.
Sleep
Peace on earth good will to men
A blessed Lord will rise again
The cold dark grave can never hold
The story that the angels told
Sleep sleep my little lord Jesus
Sleep
