Jesus Is Sleeping Tonight ========================= w&m: Joseph B. Sullivan, 2002 [Verse 1] Angels are singing, "Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia." Shepherds rejoicing sing "Alleluia," Heaven is singing tonight. [Verse 2] Baby lies sleeping, sleep, gently sleep, sleep, gently sleep, sleep, gently sleep. Mary lies watching sleep, gently sleep. Jesus is sleeping tonight. O tiny child, so meek and mild, ahead lies toil and sorrow and strife, but Jesus is sleeping tonight. [Verse 3] Saints have awaited him singing for joy, singing for joy, singing for joy. Sinners repenting singing for joy, Oh for this baby boy. O tiny child, so meek and mild, ahead lies toil and sorrow and strife, but Jesus is sleeping tonight. Ahead lies toil and sorrow and strife, but Jesus is sleeping tonight.
