[Verse 1]

Stand silent for a moment

you'll hear a baby cry

and angels helping Mary sing

her gentle lullaby.

With voices soft as music

that babies understand
F#m A D A
young Mary's gentle lullaby
A E A
takes him to slumberland.
[Chorus]
A D A
Sleep my precious baby sleep
A E E7
among the cattle, goats, and sheep
F#m A D A
with just a manger to lie in
A E D Dm7
the day will come you'll be a king.

The wisemen stand with gifts in hand
A Bm7 E
inside the stable door
F#m A D A
and listen to young Mary sing
A E A
helped by the heavenly choir.
[Verse 4]
A D A
They see the love upon her face
A Bm7 E
and hear her heavenly song
F#m A D A
then tenderly she tucks him in

and tenderly he yawns.
[Chorus]
A D A
Sleep my precious baby sleep
A E E7
among the cattle, goats, and sheep

with just a manger to lie in

the day will come you'll be a king.
