He Needs His Sleep

Wrap my salvation in your arms;
He needs his sleep.
Hold him close and sing to him,
Among the gentle sheep.
He has little work to do,
But now he needs his sleep.
The breeze brings up a little chill;
He shivers in the dark.
Pull him tighter to your breast;
Let him hear your heart.
The moon will fall at close of night,
But day now has its start.
The night is calm and quiet;
The last of happy peace.
Soon we’ll find our trials
Rising in the East.
So take care tonight for all of us,
So we, with ease, can sleep.
