Sleep, baby, sleep
Language: English
Sleep, baby, sleep, Mary and Joseph watch as you slumber, Sleep, baby, sleep. Rest your weary head On your tiny bed Angels guard you, Shepherds surround you, Rest your weary head. The Wise Men travel from afar Bringing gifts and led by a star Journey to the manger low To find the child the whole world will know: "Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Praises to the newborn King!" So sleep, baby, sleep Little Lord Jesus, sleep, As we pray and sing this lullaby.
