Sleep Little Child
Sleep, Little Child
Sleep, little child,
On this night calm and mild.
The world can wait just a little while.
On your bed made of hay
Your sleepy head lays.
Your eyes are closed to the waiting world.
Here in the stable where you were born
Everything’s quiet, peaceful and warm.
So sleep, little child,
On this night calm and mild.
The world can wait just a little while.
For now (for now)
It’s hard to ponder
Just how (just how)
This child of wonder
Will be the Saviour of the world.
