Sleep, Jesus, sleep We've come to see You who never closed Your eyes Watching over earth and skies Now in frail humanity Must sleep

 

Sleep, newborn King We'll gently sing You who reigns forevermore Ruling as the Lord of lords You who never had a need Must sleep

 

Sovereign One Born as Mary's son Prince of Peace One day You'll deliver me Deliver me

 

But now sleep, Son of God We'll watch in awe You'll fulfill the Father's plan Reconciling God and man Now Your promises to keep Must sleep
