Sleep in heavenly peace Sleep in heavenly peace Away in a manger No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Laid down His sweet head The stars in the sky Looked down where He lay The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay The cattle are lowing The Baby awakes But little Lord Jesus No crying, He makes I love Thee, Lord Jesus Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle 'Til morning is night 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 take us to heaven To live with Thee there And take us to heaven To live with Thee there Sleep in heavenly Sleep in heavenly Sleep in heavenly peace
