O sleep, my Je­sus, sleep!
O hap­py, hap­py is your lot!
Lies one that I loved so well;
Lies one that I loved so well;
Lies one that I loved so well;
A rest for wea­ry pil­grims found;
In the li­on’s den, be­hold,
In the li­on’s den, be­hold,
More than all the wick­ed, though their wealth in­crease.
We own Thee as our king.
O lit­tle child! be still and rest;

My Je­sus, sleep!
Your toil is done, your sor­row o’er;
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
Low in the ground, low in the ground.
While the guard­ian an­gel there,
While the guard­ian an­gel there,
For the Lord, my Sav­ior, will in safe­ty keep.
Wonderful King, this Christ­mas day;
And in the morn­ing, wake so blest,
