Baby Jesus!  Baby Jesus!
Do you know who you are?
Angel choirs sing lullabies by the light of a star.
Little baby in the manger,
Are you sleeping tonight?
Does the angel’s singing wake you? 
Does the star’s bright light?

Son of God and son of Mary,
Son of David, Son of Man;
Born tonight, yet born forever;
Born before all time began.

Baby Jesus!  Baby Jesus!
You were born and you will die!
You will rise and reign forever
For poor sinners as I.

Baby Jesus!  Baby Jesus!
(pause)
Shepherds seek the Lamb of God
See them worship Thee.
(pause)
Wise Men seek your Way, your Truth,
See them bend the knee.

Baby Jesus!  Go to sleep (shhh!)
Everything is all right.
Snuggle warm within the arms of you mother tonight.
Baby Jesus!  Baby Jesus!
Sleep and dream in your stall.
You are King of kings forever;
You are Lord of all.

King of kings!
Lord of lords!
Baby Jesus!
