W:The shadows are falling, the ev'nings at hand,
W:To watch by the cradle, my Saviour, I stand:
W:A song I am singing to lull Thee to sleep,
W:Oh, rest now from crying: safe guard I will keep.
W:
W:Oh sleep! Oh! rest, Thou, sweetest and blest.
W:
W:Forget for a moment the sorrows of earth,
W:Man's burden of sin that Thou bearest from birth;
W:Forget the poor stable where Thou must,
W:If Thou dost accept it, no palace so blest!
W:
W:Oh sleep! Oh! rest, Thou, sweetest and blest.
W:
W:Thy glory gives grace to the manger and stall,
W:On me at Thy side may a benison fall:
W:Thus blest with Thy presence, 'tis here I would be,
W:Child Jesus, my Saviour, ne'er parted from Thee!
W:
W:Oh sleep! Oh! rest, Thou, sweetest and blest.
