Couplet

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Refrain

Sleep well tonight
Hush close Your eyes
As choirs of angels
Sing lullabies
Oh sweetest of dreams
To Earth's baby King
In the morning You'll rise
The Light of our lives
So sleep well sleep well tonight

Couplet 1

Our cross You will carry
Our shame You will wear
The suffering meant for us
You'll willingly bear
You'll fight for our freedom
To make us Your own
Our Healer Redeemer
Forever our Hope

Refrain

Sleep well tonight
Hush close Your eyes
As choirs of angels
Sing lullabies
Oh sweetest of dreams
To Earth's baby King
In the morning You'll rise
The Light of our lives
So sleep well sleep well tonight

Couplet 2

Be near me Lord Jesus
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And fit us for Heaven
To live with You there

Refrain

Sleep well tonight
Hush close Your eyes
As choirs of angels
Sing lullabies
Oh sweetest of dreams
To Earth's baby King
In the morning You'll rise
The Light of our lives
So sleep well sleep well tonight
