Mark Liversidge - Sleep, Little Jesus, Sleep - текст песни (слова)

1. Sleep, little Jesus, sleep,
 The ox and ass their watch shall keep so
 Sleep, little Jesus, sleep.
 In Bethlehem you came to Earth,
 A stable for your humble birth;
 Now sleep, little Jesus, sleep.
 
 2. Sleep, little Jesus, sleep
 While wise men come from far away to
 See, little Jesus, sleep.
 The star that guides them on their way
 Will show them where their gifts to lay
 While you, little Jesus, sleep.
 
 3. Wake, little Jesus, wake,
 The angel guides your leave to take,
 So Mary and Joseph take
 Your son, as Herod soon will kill,
 The infants' blood his fear will spill,
 And Ramah its lament make.
 
 4. Sleep, little Jesus, sleep,
 For now in Egypt safety seek,
 The angels a watch will keep.
 One day from death in triumph rise,
 Your love the world now glorifies;
 for now, little Jesus, sleep.
