Text
Sleep, sleep, sleep, my little baby, sleep!
Still, still, still, it is God our father's will.
Blessed Mother Mary bears a child,
Rocks the cradle humming mild.
Still, still, still, it is God our father's will.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, my little baby, sleep!
Sleep, sleep, sleep, O Jesus, child of mine.
The angels sing in glorious joy,
Around the manger filled with hay.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, O Jesus, child of mine.
Sleep, sleep, sleep, my little baby, sleep!
