Dear Baby Jesus
Dear baby Jesus, in a manger
Wake tomorrow
Dream of the cross and how You'll save us
From our sorrow
For the night is hastening on
And the morning won't be long
Fall asleep to angels' song, Jesus
Dear baby Jesus, hope of nations
Born to save us
How could it be that, just a baby
From sin would free us?
For the powers of dark are strong
And the night has been so long
We are captives to our wrong, Jesus
Dear baby Jesus, look upon me
Your lost child
Is there tear that forms in your bright eyes?
So sweet and mild
God's own plan has just begun
And the night will soon be done
And the battle will be won, Jesus
Dear baby Jesus, in a manger
Let us praise Him!
Hope of the world and light in the darkness
Let Him sleep on
For the night is hastening on
And the morning won't be long
Fall asleep to angels' song, Jesus
