Sleep, my little Jesus,
2
On Thy bed of hay,
3
While the shepherds homeward
4
Journey on their way.
5
Mother is Thy shepherd
6
And will her vigil keep:
7
Did the voices wake Thee?
8
O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
9
Refrain
10
Softly sleep, sweetly sleep,
11
My Jesus, sleep!
12
Sleep, my little Jesus,
13
While Thou art my own!
14
Ox and ass Thy neighbors,
15
Shalt Thou have a throne?
16
Will they call me blessèd?
17
Shall I stand and weep?
18
Be it far, Jehovah!

O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!

Refrain
21
Sleep, my little Jesus,
22
Wonder-baby mine!
23
Well the singing angels
24
Greet Thee as divine.
25
Through my heart, as heaven
26
Low the echoes sweep
27
Of glory to Jehovah!
28
O sleep, my Jesus, sleep!
29
