Lyrics
Sleep, Holy Babe, Upon Thy mother's breast!
Sleep, Holy Babe, Sleep on, and take Thy rest.
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest!
Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around,
Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels tread the ground,
And, bending low with folded wings,
Adore th'incarnate King of kings
In rev'rent love profound!
Soon must Thy brow Its thorny crown receive,
Soon must Thy side Its crimson life-blood give,
Thy face, more lovely than the rose,
Be stain'd with blood and marred with blows,
That I there-by may live.
So may I sing, For Thou hast died for me,
So may I sing Immortal praise to Thee,
Tho' once a Babe of human birth,
Now reignest Lord of heav'n and earth
Thro' all eternity.
Sleep, Holy Babe, Sleep on, and take Thy rest.
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
How sweet it is to see Thee lie
In such a place of rest!
Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around,
Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels tread the ground,
And, bending low with folded wings,
Adore th'incarnate King of kings
In rev'rent love profound!
Soon must Thy brow Its thorny crown receive,
Soon must Thy side Its crimson life-blood give,
Thy face, more lovely than the rose,
Be stain'd with blood and marred with blows,
That I there-by may live.
So may I sing, For Thou hast died for me,
So may I sing Immortal praise to Thee,
Tho' once a Babe of human birth,
Now reignest Lord of heav'n and earth
Thro' all eternity.
