Orthodox Christian Chant - In the Dark Night

 

Todd Moore2 months ago

In the dark night, over Bethlehem,
The clear dawn was gone, the earth covered with light.
Holy Virgin, Holy Bride,
In the den of the poor Son gave birth.


Refrain:
Sleep, Jesus, Sleep, Little,
Sleep, you, star, mine.
Your fate, my dear,
I sing to you.


Gently kissed, covered with a cloth,
She put to bed, quietly started the song:
You grow up, You, Son, You will become an adult,
In the world you will go, My baby.


Chorus: Sleep, Jesus ...


The love of the Lord and the truth of God
You, in a world of faith, will bring your people,
The truth will live, the shackles of sin will break
But on Calvary, My child will die.


Refrain:
Sleep Jesus Jesus sleep little baby
Sleep, you, my star
Your fate, my dear
I sing to you
...
Sleep Jesus Jesus sleep little baby
Sleep, you, my pink blossom
And with hope in You
The whole world is watching!
