Sleep quietly my Jesus
Now close your dear eyes
Above you shine ,God's counting stars
Like diamonds in the sky
Beside your bed an angel crew
With cattle have fed
Your mother stands in watchful pray
And strokes your little head
The shepards leave, their flocks uncon
They bring you my love
While angels of our father God
Rejoice the song above
From far away the wise men 3
They treasures the great
The whole wide world before your knees
My Jesus little king
Sleep quietly my Jesus
Now close your dear eyes
Above you shine ,God's counting stars
Like diamonds in the sky
Beside your bed an angel crew
With cattle have fed
Your mother stands in watchful pray
And strokes your little head
