Starshine Singers - Baby Jesus Sleeps Lyrics

Baby Jesus sleeps, while mother Mary keeps
Her blessed vigil by His manger bed.
As a star shines bright into the deepest night,
Our baby Jesus rests His sleepy head.

Even as the cattle low, so softly.
Even as the angels sing their praise to God
We know the joy He brings, He is all good things.
He is the Saviour! Our precious baby King.

In this cattle stall, where kings and shepherds call,
To bow their heads before a baby boy.
On the stable fl oor where all who kneel adore,
This blessed gift of life and truth and joy.

Even as the cattle low, so softly.
Even as the angels sing their praise to God
We know the joy He brings, He is all good things.
He is the Saviour! Our precious baby King.

As I see the scene in my imagining,
I wonder why a King so lowly born.
Then in faith anew I know that God is true,
In ev’ry place His brand new day shall dawn.

Even as the catt le low, so softly.
Even as the angels sing their praise to God
We know the joy He brings, He is all good things.
He is the Saviour! Our precious baby King.

Even as the catt le low, so soft ly,
(The cattle low so softly.) (So softly.)
Even as the angels sing their praise to God.
(They sing their praise to God.)
(Their praise to God.)
We know the joy He brings, He is all good things,
(The joy He brings for He is all good things,)
He is the Saviour! Our precious baby King.
