Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus on a cold winter’s night
The shepherds they came led by your light
They worshiped and praised the one who brings grace
Sleep Sweetly Lord Jesus on a cold winter’s night
Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus as the angels proclaim
With all of the heavens praising your name
They joyfully sing of salvation you bring
Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus as the angels proclaim
Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus A king with no crown
Yet they came to the manger still bowing down
The Ancient of Days asleep on the hay
Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus a king with no crown
Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus for the price that you’ll pay
Frees the world from its sin on that glorious day
It points to the cross for the broken and lost
Sleep sweetly Lord Jesus for the price that you’ll pay
