Sleep, little Child in the manger,
Sleep, 'neath the Christmas star,
Sleep, while the starlight is gleaming,
Shining near and far.
Slumber and rest, slumber and rest,
Rest while the sweet music rings;
Sleep, little Child in the manger;
Sleep, little King of Kings.

Sleep, little Child in the manger,
Sleep, while the angels sing,
Sleep, as they tell us the story,
Of Thee, the newborn King.
Slumber and rest, slumber and rest,
Rest while the sweet music rings;
Sleep, little Child in the manger;
Sleep, little King of Kings.

Sleep, little Child in the manger,
Sleep, gift from God above,
Sleep, while the happy children
Give Thee their praise and love.
Slumber and rest, slumber and rest,
Rest while the sweet music rings;
Sleep, little Child in the manger;
Sleep, little King of Kings.
