Sleep, holy Babe! upon Thy mother's breast Great Lord of earth and sea and sky How sweet it is to see Thee lie In such a place of rest1 In such a place of rest! 2. Sleep, holy Babe! Thine angels watch around All bending low with folded wings Before Th' incarnate King of kings In rev'rent awe profound In rev'rent awe profound 3. Sleep! Holy Babe! while I with Mary gaze In joy upon that Face awhile, Upon the loving infant smile Which there Divinely plays. Which there Divinely plays. 4. Sleep! Holy Babe! Ah! take Thy brief repose; Too quickly will Thy slumbers break, And Thou to lengthened pains awake That Death alone shall close. That Death alone shall close.
