"Sleep Quietly" lyrics

Sleep quietly
My Jesus
Now close your dear eyes
Above you shine
God's countless stars
Like diamonds in the sky

Beside your bed
An angel crew
Your cattle have fed
Your mother stands
In watchful prayer
And strokes your little head

The shepherds leave
Their flocks as one
They bring you my love
While angels of
Our father God
Rejoice in song above

From far away
The wise men three
Their treasures they bring
My whole wide world
Before your kneels
My Jesus little king

Sleep quietly
My Jesus
Now close your dear eyes
Above you shine
God's countless stars
Like diamonds in the sky

Beside your bed
An angel crew
With cattle have fed
Your mother stands
In watchful prayer
And strokes your little head
