Sleep My Little Jesus Lyrics - Ella Fitzgerald

Sleep, my little Jesus 

On Thy bed of hay 

While the shepherds homeward 

Journey on their way 

Mother is Thy shepherd 

And will her vigil keep 

Did the voices wake Thee? 

Oh sleep, my Jesus, sleep! 

Softly sleep, sweetly sleep 

My Jesus, sleep!

Sleep, my little Jesus 

While Thou art my own! 

Ox and ass Thy neighbors 

Shalt Thou have a throne? 

Will they call me blessed? 

Shall I stand and weep? 

Be it far, Jehovah! 

Oh sleep, my Jesus, sleep! 

Softly sleep, sweetly sleep 

My Jesus, sleep! 

Sleep, my little Jesus 

Wonder-baby mine! 

Well the singing angels 

Greet Thee as divine 

Through my heart, as heaven 

Low the echoes sweep 

Of glory to Jehovah! 

Oh sleep, my Jesus, sleep! 

Softly sleep, sweetly sleep 

My Jesus, sleep!
