Lyrics
Sleep on sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Away in the manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head
The stars in the bright sky looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus a sleep on the hay
Sleep on, sleep on baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on baby sleep on, baby sleep on
The cattle are lowing the baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus no crying He makes
I love Thee Lord Jesus look down from the sky
And stay by my bedside ‘til morning is nigh.
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Be near me Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there
Ooo…Woo...Woo
And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
Sleep on, sleep on, baby sleep on, baby sleep on
