[Verse 1]
[G]Sleep, p[F#]reci[G]ous babe,
[F#]thy mother hovers near,
[G]And angels gua[Em]rd thee
as [F#]thine [Ab]eyelids close.[Am]
[F#]Sleep, child[G],
[F#]nor let the carols clear,
[G]Disturb the[Em] stillness
of thy [Am]sweet [F#]re po[D]se.
[F#]Wake[D], precious[F#] babe,
[D]be [F#]hold the [Bm]newborn gay,
The angels [G]greet thee
with [F#]their burst [C#]of Song![F#]
Wake, tender [Am]child,
upon [F#]thy bed [Em]of hay,
[F#]And hear[Em]ken to t[Bm]he wondr[F#]ous
heavenly [Bm]throng.[Bbm][Bm][C#]
[F#]Smile, precious babe[G],
upon [F#]us gathered h[G]ere,
Fill [Ebm]thou our hearts
with [Bm]greater love for [F#]thee.[C][Am]
[F#]Smile, tender child,
[G]as Christmas bel[F#]ls ring clear,
[G]And let[Bm] us kno[F#]w thee,
[Em]let [Bm]us know [Bbm]thee.
[F#]Smile, [Bm]tender child,
an[Bbm]d let us know [D]thee [F#]here.[G]
[F#]Let us know [G]the year.
