Songtext von Sleep Quietly

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
