Sleep, blessed Jesus, Baby Boy,
The Son of God and Heaven's Joy.
The angels guard you from above.
Sleep now and know your mother's love.
I hold you closely to my breast,
Then lay you in your crib to rest.
My heart is filled with love for you.
A Son...a King of royalty!
I watch you sleeping peacefully.
How can it be? How can it be
That God entrusted you to me?
How can this wonder really be?
A star so bright shines up above
Then hovers over you, my Love.
My Baby Boy, it is your star
To lead the travelers from afar.
They know a Savior is born tonight
To bring a waiting world true light.
They come to worship and adore
The King of kings forevermore!
All men will marvel at your birth.
Through you, salvation came to earth.
God loved the world so much He gave
His only Son mankind to save.
O holy night! O night divine!
God's Son has come, yet also mine.
My Savior! Child! I gaze at you,
And ponder still...how can it be?
