Lyrics:
The whole world is sleeping. They don't know you're here.
Baby, be still now and I'll hold you dear.
Baby. you're near me, I love you oh, so much,
And I will keep you right here in my touch.

Hush now, my little one, The sun soon will rise.
Sleep now, my newborn Son, close your eyes.
Don't fear the darkness, for you will bring us light.
Baby, my Baby, you're all mine tonight

Angels now whisper, they come to guard their King.
In the wee hours I could hear them sing, "Glory, Alleluia!"
"Peace to men on Earth!" The world will rejoice at the news of thy birth.
But now the whole world is sleeping.
