It's okay, little one,
Don't dismay, little one,
You're just a babe, how can you be trembling?
It's alright, little one,
He's come tonight, little one: the one that you and the world have been waiting for.
Sleep well, sweet dreams,
You need your rest, or so it seems,
Sleep well, come what may,
For God has come and you must prepare the way.
It's alright, little one,
Don't you cry, little one,
You're the delight of the blind and the barren,
It's okay, little one,
He's come today, little child,
Enjoy the peace; it may be the calm before the storm.
So sleep well, sweet dreams,
You need your rest, or so it seems,
Sleep well, come what may,
For God has come and you must prepare the way.
Messiah's come to save the world, and he has chosen our place in time,
God has given us his son, but why must he ask me for mine?
Sleep well, sweet dreams,
You need your rest, or so it seems,
Sleep well, come what may,
For God has come and you must prepare the way.
