Lyrics
Verse 1
Sleep, little Jesus, Lord of the earth. Angels are telling the news of thy birth.
Shepherds will come to thee, bringing thee love. Bright shines the star in heaven above.
Verse 2
Sleep, little Jesus, softly we sing. Earth long has waited her Savior and King.
Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia, Peace to all men, Al ‑leluia!”
