Hymnal: Voices of Praise #336 (1883) Hymnal Title: Voices of Praise Lyrics: 1 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep,
On Thy bed of hay,
Angels in the spangled Heaven
Sing their gladsome Christmas carols
Till the dawn of day,
2 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep,
On Thy bed of hay,
Ere the mourning Angel cometh
To the moonlit olive garden,
Wiping tears away.
3 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep,
Sweet on Mary's breast:
Now the shepherds kneel adoring,
Now the mother's heart is joyous,
Take a happy rest.
4 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep,
Sweet on Mary's breast:
Crucified, with wounds and bruises,
Bleeding, purple, stained, disfigured,
One day Thou wilt rest. Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [Sleep, my Saviour, sleep]
Sleep, my Saviour, sleep
