8298. Slumber, Sweetly Slumber

1 Cradled in a manger,
On the fragrant hay,
Wrapped in peaceful slumber,
Baby Jesus lay.

Refrain:
Slumber, slumber, slumber on;
Slumber, sweetly slumber,
Thou Thought of God so dear;
Slumber on, slumber on,
Thou holy Babe.

2 Happy be Thy slumbers,
While sweet lullabies,
Sung by shining angels,
Echo through the skies. [Refrain]

3 Sleep, dear baby Jesus,
Love shall make the night
Full of joy and gladness,
Bright with Heaven’s light. [Refrain]
