He was chosen of Joseph’s royal line, crowned with Mary’s kisses

Strange new King of the manger – lain where shepherds had led their sheep

Sleep, little King, now sleep

 

And the angels appeared on high, with songs – singing “Glory to God forever!

Blessing, honor, and power: Yours from now, and shall ever, be”

Sleep, little King, now sleep

 

Men behold Thy light – gold they’ll bring

Wake, O silent night – angels sing

Sleep, little King – sleep, little King, now sleep

 

Young mother’s lullabies, humbly sung – as sure as babies cry, Christ has come to earth

The only virgin birth

One day all government shall submit – each realm will know His name, yes, and let it ring

For now, she whispers: “Sleep, little King – sleep, little King – now sleep”

 

How can such a powerless thing wear the banner of a King?

When are men supposed to see all that He is meant to be?

Israel’s hope and reckoning, rendered through His suffering

How can such a powerless thing wear the banner of a King?
