Sleep Little Jesus Lyrics
This song is from the Children’s Songbook page #47.
You can find the sheet music here.
1st Verse:
Sleep, little Jesus, Lord of the earth.
Angels are telling the news of thy birth.
Shepherds will come to thee, bringing thee love.
Bright shines the star in heaven above.
2nd Verse:
“Sleep, little Jesus,” softly we sing.
Earth long has waited her Savior and King.
Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia,
Peace to all men, Alleluia!”
“Sleep, Little Jesus” by Mabel Jones Gabbott
