173. Slumber, Sweetly Slumber

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

Refrain:
Slumber, sweetly slumber,
While angels hover near,
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]
