[Intro] Ooh. Ooh. Sleep now, little Jesus. Rest here in my arms. [Verse 1] Beneath the stars of Bethlehem I hold You close tonight The promised Child, so small and still The everlasting Light I heard the angel speak Your name Before I saw Your face And now the hands that formed the stars Are resting in my embrace [Pre-Chorus] How can heaven feel so near? How can glory rest right here? Every promise, every prayer Is breathing softly in my care [Chorus] Jesus, Jesus, sleep tonight Holy Child of endless light Though the stars belong to You I will hold You close till morning Jesus, Jesus, precious One Heaven's gift, the Father's Son All creation waits for You And tonight, Heaven's in my arms [Verse 2] One day Your little feet will walk Beyond this quiet place And countless hearts will come to know The mercy in Your grace But now the world can wait awhile The roads can wait for dawn Tonight I'll sing beside You here Until the night is gone [Pre-Chorus] Let the heavens watch above Let this night be wrapped in love For the hope the prophets knew Has come into the world in You [Chorus] Jesus, Jesus, sleep tonight Holy Child of endless light Though the stars belong to You I will hold You close till morning Jesus, Jesus, precious One Heaven's gift, the Father's Son All creation waits for You And tonight, Heaven's in my arms [Bridge] My little Jesus, close Your eyes. Angels keep their watch tonight. I don't know where the road will lead But I will trust the One who sees You are the promise heaven gave You are the hope the world awaits And though I cradle You tonight One day Your love will change our lives Gloria. Gloria. Gloria. My Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Holy Light Morning born into our night Let the earth and heaven sing Glory to the newborn King Jesus, Jesus, promised One Holy Savior, blessed Son Every nation, every heart Will hear the story of Your love Alleluia, angels sing Alleluia to the King Heaven's promise has begun For tonight, Heaven's in my arms [Outro] Sleep now, little Jesus Morning soon will come Sleep beneath the stars tonight My holy, precious One Jesus. Jesus. Heaven's in my arms Ooh. Ooh.
