Trad. Christmas hymn Key: D -1 -1 3 -2* Sleep, Ho-ly Babe, -5 -5 4*-4 -3 3 -2* Up-on Thy Moth-er's breast. -2* -2* -2* 3* -3* 4* -2* -2* Great Lord of earth and sea and sky, -2* -2* -5 -5 4*-4 -4 -3 -3 How sweet it is to see Thee lie -3 -3 -1 -1 -1 -1 In such a place of rest. -1 -1-2*-3-4 -3 1* -1 In such a place of rest. Sleep, Holy Babe, Thine angels watch around; All bending low with folded wings Before th'Incarnate King of kings, In rev'rent awe profound. Sleep, Holy Babe, While I with Mary gaze In joy upon Thy face awhile, Upon the loving Infant smile, Which there divinely plays. Sleep, Holy Babe, O take Thy brief repose! Too quickly will Thy slumbers break, And Thou to lengthen'd pains awake, That death alone shall close. |
