Angels Bright Their Pinions Folding Lyrics
1. Angels bright, their pinions folding,
Guard the Infant Saviour's rest;
God made man with joy beholding:
Sleep, Redeemer blest,
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
2. Slumber soft His eyelids closing,
See, upon His Mother's breast
Jesus, Lord of life, reposing:
Sleep, Redeemer blest,
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
3. High above a star is gleaming
Guiding mortals on their quest,
Through the night in splendour beaming: Sleep, Redeemer blest,
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
4. Saviour! Star, whose light all-glorious
Fills the earth from east to west,
Over sin and death victorious,
Sleep, Redeemer blest,
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
Sleep on, (sleep on), sleep on, (sleep on), Bright Angels guard Thy rest;
