Sleep baby Jesus, close Your weary eyes Hide Yourself in faithful dreams before You live Your life And slip away to Heaven and rest in gentle peace Never to awaken the Lord Your soul to keep 'Cause Your feet will walk on water Your eyes will pierce the dark And Your heart will save the souls of men Your hands will bear the scars Sleep baby Jesus, for now Your time has come To heal the wounded leper, to calm the raging storm With perfect steps of perfect grace You leave behind Your fear And walk along these dusty roads though Your fate is clear 'Cause Your feet walked on water Your eyes pierced the dark And Your heart will save the souls of men Your hands will bear the scars Sleep baby Jesus, my Father and my child Beneath this broken cross of sin stained with men's denial And though You now are breathless with thorns upon Your head Your body has been broken so Your children can be fed Cause Your feet have walked on water Your eyes have pierced the dark Your heart has saved the souls of men But Your hands now bear the scars And Your feet have walked on water Your eyes have pierced the dark And Your heart has saved the souls of men Your hands now bear the scars
