Sleep My Little Lord Jesus - Tennessee Ernie Ford

Angels sang in the heaven of old

A bright star shown on the shepherd fold

Wise men worshiped the holy one

And a mother smiled at her baby son.

Sleep, sleep, my little lord Jesus.

Sleep

The child grew strong and wise and good

The grace of God he understood

His mighty deeds did every show

God’s wondrous love for us we

Sleep, sleep, my little lord Jesus.

Sleep

Peace on earth good will to men

A blessed Lord will rise again

The cold dark grave can never hold

The story that the angels told

Sleep sleep my little lord Jesus

Sleep
