Cradle Song

Sleep now!  Oh sleep sweet child divine!
Sleep now ‘neath a bright star’s light
Rest now Heaven’s prince!
Dreaming through the night
Angel’s praises sing your lullaby.

How little did we know of love?
Did not see your heavenly plan
Still shepherds come with lambs
Earthly kings and holy hosts
Welcome Jesus, King, on this holy night.

Sleep now!  Oh sleep sweet child divine!
Sleep now beneath a star’s delight.
Ordinary night
Touched by Heaven’s grace
Love lights up the skies with Noel praise.

Long this world waited for Love’s return
So stilled now the waiting heart 
Lord Emmanuel
Let us sing for joy
Cradle songs for the birth of our Lord.

Sleep now.  Oh sleep pure winter’s rose.
Sleep child bathed in starlight glow
Mountains bow low
Peace and Justice kiss
Deserts bloom with flowers of redeeming bliss.

Sleep Jesus sleep!
