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.

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

Refrain

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