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,

May Jesus sleep!
Sleep, my little Jesus,

While thou art my own!

Ox and ass thy heighbours,

Shalt thou have a throne?

Will they call me blessed?

Shall I stand and weep?

Be it far Jehovah!

O sleep my Jesus Sleep!

Softly sleep, sweetly sleep,

May 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!

Softly sleep, sweetly sleep,

May Jesus sleep!

Amen
