Sleep, Baby, Sleep

Angels are watching over a Child,
Dear little infant, gentle and mild;
Hovering softly, vigil they keep,
Guarding the Baby while He's asleep.
Sleep, dear little Baby, sleep;
Angels over You watch will keep,
Hov'ring 'round Your manger bed;
Sleep, Baby, sleep.
Dear mother, Mary, to Jesus sings,
While angels hover on their bright wings.
Though in a manger cradled You are,
Angels keep watch by light of a star.
