Sleep in peace, my little Child;
God, your Father, watches o’er You.
At your birth, the angels smiled
When in love your mother bore You.
In your presence, sorrows cease.
Sleep, my Baby; sleep in peace.
You bring joy and happiness.
We are glad when we are near You.
As You feel my soul’s caress,
Sweet angelic dreams will cheer You.
In your presence, sorrows cease.
Sleep, my Baby; sleep in peace.
