Sleep, My Little Lord Jesus Lyrics

Angels sang in the heavens of old
A bright star shone on the shepherd′s fold
Wise men worshipped 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 ever show
God's wondrous love for us below

Sleep, sleep, my little Lord Jesus, sleep

But those who hate God′s gentle might
Will kill my Lord one dreadful night
They'll nail Him to the cross so high
And lift my Savior to the sky

Sleep, little Lord Jesus

Peace on earth, good will to men
The 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
(My little Lord Jesus, sleep)
