Sleep Quietly - Erasure

Sleep quietly

My Jesus

Now close your dear eyes

Above you shine

God’s countless stars

Like diamonds in the sky

Beside your bed

An angel crew

Your cattle have fed

Your mother stands

In watchful prayer

And strokes your little head

The shepherds leave

Their flocks as one

They bring you my love

While angels of

Our father God

Rejoice in song above

From far away

The wise men three

Their treasures they bring

My whole wide world

Before your kneels

My Jesus little king

Sleep quietly

My Jesus

Now close your dear eyes

Above you shine

God’s countless stars

Like diamonds in the sky

Beside your bed

An angel crew

With cattle have fed

Your mother stands

In watchful prayer

And strokes your little head
