Slumber Song of the Infant Jesus is a gentle French Christmas carol. The lyric is simple, short, and sweet, yet profound in its contemplation of what it was like to behold the Christ Child in the manger.
Lying amid the oxen mild,
Sleep, sleep, sleep my Holy Child.
Heavenly cherubim, hosts of seraphim
Hover all around the little Lord of Love.
Mid lilies white and roses red,
Sleep, sleep in Thy lowly bed.
While gentle shepherds kneel in prayer,
Sleep, sleep, sleep my Child so fair.
