Verse 1
Sleep, Holy Child, this the morning of your birth
Let the angels sing, joy to the world, peace on Earth
For Emmanuel is born in Bethlehem
Chorus 1
And let the shepherds watch the beauty of your smile
Sleep, Holy Child

Verse 2
Wake, Holy Child, for the morning light has come
Rest in Mary’s arms, grow up strong to become
The one who’ll give His life in Jerusalem
Chorus 2
But shock the world when you will rise out of the tomb
Wake, Holly Child

Instrumental

Verse 3
Come, Holy King, while your servant sings
The story of God and His love
It’s the story of Christmas
Chorus 3
And while we offer praise, with joy, these words we say
Come, Holy King, on this, Your birthday
