SLEEP, MY LITTLE KING OF KINGS

Sleep, my little King of Kings;
Caesars in uneasy sleep
Tremble for their crowns and weep;
Sleep, my little King of Kings:
Sleep...

Sleep, my little Lamb of God;
Levites watch with weary eyes
Where the victim bleeds and dies;
Sleep, my little Lamb of God:
Sleep...

Sleep, my little Shepherd, sleep;
Shepherds mindful of the wolves,
Count the stars to wake themselves;
Sleep, my little Shepherd, sleep:
Sleep...

Sleep, my little Saviour, sleep;
Sinners, helpless to atone,
Toss upon their beds and moan,
Sleep, my little Saviour, sleep:
Sleep...

Sleep, my Bright, my Morning Star;
Though the voice of chanticleer
Cries 'The Day of Days is here!'
Sleep, my Bright, my Morning Star:
Sleep...
