Sleep, My Little Jesus |
| Sleep, my little Jesus, |
| On Thy bed of hay, |
| While the shepherds homeward |
| Journey on their way. |
| Mother is Thy shepherd |
| And will her vigil keep: |
| Did the voices wake Thee? |
| O 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 bless? |
| d? |
| Shall I stand and weep? |
| Be it far, Jehovah! |
| O sleep, my Jesus, sleep! |
| Sleep, my little Jesus, |
| Wonder-baby mine! |
| Well the singing angels |
| Greet Thee as divine. |
| Through my heart, as heaven |
| Low the echoes sweep |
| Of glory to Jehovah! |
| O sleep, my Jesus, sleep! |
