Sleep, Jesus, Sleep Lyrics

Sleep, Jesus, sleep
We've come to see
You who never closed Your eyes
Watching over earth and skies
Now in frail humanity
Must sleep
Sleep, newborn King
We'll gently sing
You who reigns forevermore
Ruling as the Lord of lords
You who never had a need
Must sleep
Sovereign One
Born as Mary's son
Prince of Peace
One day You'll deliver me
Deliver me

But now sleep, Son of God
We'll watch in awe
You'll fulfill the Father's plan
Reconciling God and man
Now Your promises to keep
Must sleep
