In the dark night, above Bethlehem, a bright star shined out, covering the Holy Land. The Most Pure Virgin, the Holy Bride, in a poor cave gavest birth to a Son. [Chorus] Sleep Jesus, sleep my little baby, Sleep my little star, About thy fate, my little sweet, To thee I shall sing. She gently kissed and swaddled him, She put him to bed, and quietly started to sing, Thou shalt grow up, my Son, thou shalt become a adult, And thou shalt go out into the world, my baby. Sleep Jesus, sleep my little baby, Sleep my little star, About thy fate, my little sweet, To thee I shall sing. The Love of the Lord and God's truth, Thou shalt bring faith to the world, to thy people, The truth shall live on, the shackles of sin shall break, But on Golgotha, my child will die. Sleep Jesus, sleep my little baby, Sleep my little star, About thy fate, my little sweet, To thee I shall sing. Sleep, Jesus, sleep my sweet little baby, Sleep my rose blossom, With hope on Thee The entire world is watching!  In The Dark Night Orthodox Chant (English Subtitles) |
