73. Little Jesus, Sweetly Sleep

1 Little Jesus, sweetly sleep, sleep in peace;
We have brought a robe of fleece;
We will rock you, rock you, rock you,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you:
Wrapping you to keep you warm,
Snugly round your tiny form.

2 Mary's little baby, sleep, sweetly sleep,
Sleep in comfort, slumber deep;
We will rock you, rock you, rock you,
We will rock you, rock you, rock you;
Serving you with deepest joy,
Darling, darling baby son.
