Sleep sound in Jesus my baby, my dear,
Angels are watching, they keep you so near;
Know for His sake you'll be safe for the night,
Sleep sound in Jesus, I'll turn out the light.
Sleep sound in Jesus, sweetheart of my heart,
The dark of the night will not keep us apart;
When I lay you down in your bed for the night,
He holds you gently till morning is light.
Sleep sound in Jesus, the angels are here,
They're keeping watch so there's nothing to fear;
Against any foe they are ready to fight,
So sleep sound in Jesus, I'll turn out the light.
Sleep sound in Jesus my baby, my dear,
Angels are watching, they keep you so near;
Know for His sake you'll be safe for the night,
Sleep sound in Jesus, I'll turn out the light.
