Sweet baby Jesus, how innocent you are
Wise men and Kings will follow the Star
To gaze upon this baby small
whom God has sent to save us all.

Shepherds tending their flock in the field
in awesome silence, a miracle revealed.

Three Kings bring gold to the tiny King
--myrrh and frankincense they bring.

Mary, the Mother, weary and worn
Holds close to her body, this baby born
in manger cold with hay for his bed
and a Heavenly halo about his head.

How can you know one tragic day
There will be enemies so angry they
will put your body through agonizing pain
but that you, baby King, will live again.

Sleep on, sweet child, in Mother's arms
For now you are sheltered from all harm.
For now, we will not fear your future pain
just sing praises to your name.

For now, we will pretend this baby sweet
with the innocent eyes and tiny feet
will never experience the agony of dying
but will sleep in peace and where he is lying
will be a bed of finest down--
Instead of swaddling clothes, a gown
befitting a baby King this night
Sleep in peace, dear baby, I bid you goodnight.
