Rest Awhile, Sleepy Child

See the little Baby, sleeping in the hay
Jesus came in mercy’s name to take our sins away
People will insult Him, put thorns upon His brow
Rest awhile, sleepy Child in the manger now
Rest awhile, sleepy Child, rest while You can
The journey’s far, the road is hard
To rescue fallen man
Rest awhile, sleepy Child, rest while You can
All too soon, You’ll reach the tomb
Then You can rest again
Mary holds her Baby cradled in her arms
Trying to protect Him, saving Him from harm
People will despise Him, hang Him on a tree
Rest awhile, sleepy Child, on Mary’s gentle knee
Rest awhile, sleepy Child, rest while You can
The journey’s far, the road is hard
To rescue fallen man
Rest awhile, sleepy Child, rest while You can
All too soon, You’ll reach the tomb
Then You can rest again
All too soon, You’ll reach the tomb
Then You can rest again
