The little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head;
The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay,
The little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.

But little Lord Jesus no crying he makes,
I love you Lord Jesus; look down from on high
And stay by my side until morning is nigh.

Close by me forever, and love me I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
And fit us for heaven to live with you there.

Through His own redeeming love
