_________________________________________

Content  -  A gentle, reflective song, pondering how this 'child of wonder', born in a stable, will grow to be the saviour of the world. Simple, lilting and peaceful, with a lyric that captures the moment just after Jesus' birth in a very effective way.

Lyrics sample

Sleep, little child,

On this night calm and mild.

The world can wait just a little while.

On your bed made of hay

Your sleepy head lays.

Your eyes are closed to the waiting world.

Here in the stable where you were born

Everything’s quiet, peaceful and warm.

So sleep, little child,

On this night calm and mild.

The world can wait just a little while.
