“Sleep, Little Jesus,” Friend, Dec. 1981, 38 Sleep, Little Jesus By Mabel Jones Gabbott and Michael F. Moody Sleep, little Jesus, Lord of the earth. Angels are telling the news of Thy birth. Shepherds will come soon bringing Thee love. Bright shines a new star in heaven above. Sleep, little Jesus, softly we sing. Earth long has waited her Savior and King. Heavenly hosts sing, “Al-le-lu-ia, Peace to all men, Al-le-lu-ia!” Illustrated by Beverly Glazier
