Peter Mayer

Sleep baby sleep
The weary night is ended
The pains of birth have proved their worth
Now sleep baby sleep

Lowly am I
But nations call me blessed
Oh my soul sings on this holy night

Wake baby wake
Startled by the strangers
Shepherds, angels, to the manger
To see this holy child

Way look away
Star of the East is rising
To all who roam ’twill guide you home tonight

Hush-a-bye lay in my arms
I’ll hold you safe from any harm
Singing peace Gods own Son
King of kings but still my little one

Oh holy child
A whole world lies waiting
The promise you’ve spoken can’t be broken
Oh what mercy mild

Way look away
Star of the East is rising
To all who roam ’twill guide you home tonight

Tell us what you think...
