Sleep Now, Gentle Jesus (Christmas Season)

Words: Robert Loretz

Music: Franz Schubert (from the Wanderer Fantasy)

This hymn contrasts the peace of the new born baby with his coming passion, which wins us peace. It brings together the joyful poverty of the crib with the redemptive poverty of the cross. The musical attitude is reverent.
