Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep, On Thy bed of hay, Angels in the spangled Heaven Sing their gladsome Christmas carols Till the dawn of day, 2 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep, On Thy bed of hay, Ere the mourning Angel cometh To the moonlit olive garden, Wiping tears away. 3 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep, Sweet on Mary's breast: Now the shepherds kneel adoring, Now the mother's heart is joyous, Take a happy rest. 4 Sleep, my Saviour, sleep, Sweet on Mary's breast: Crucified, with wounds and bruises, Bleeding, purple, stained, disfigured, One day Thou wilt rest.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "Sleep, my Savior, sleep" in Wartburg Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

1834 - 1924 Person Name: Sabine Baring-Gould Author of "Sleep, my Savior, sleep" in The Cyber Hymnal Baring-Gould, Sabine, M.A., eldest son of Mr. Edward Baring-Gould, of Lew Trenchard, Devon, b. at Exeter, Jan. 28, 1834, and educated at Clare College, Cambridge, B.A. 1857, M.A. 1860. Taking Holy Orders in 1864, he held the curacy of Horbury, near Wakefield, until 1867, when he was preferred to the incumbency of Dalton, Yorks. In 1871 he became rector of East Mersea, Essex, and in 1881 rector of Lew Trenchard, Devon. His works are numerous, the most important of which are, Lives of the Saints, 15 vols., 1872-77; Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, 2 series, 1866-68; The Origin and Development of Religious Belief, 2 vols., 1869-1870; and various volumes of sermons. His hymns, original and translated, appeared in the Church Times; Hymns Ancient & Modern, 1868 and 1875; The People's Hymnal, 1867, and other collections, the most popular being "Onward, Christian soldiers," "Daily, daily sing the praises," the translation "Through the night of doubt and sorrow," and the exquisite Easter hymn, "On the Resurrection Morning." His latest effort in hymnology is the publication of original Church Songs, 1884, of which two series have been already issued. In the Sacristy for Nov. 1871, he also contributed nine carols to an article on "The Noels and Carols of French Flanders.” These have been partially transferred to Chope's and Staniforth's Carol Books, and also to his Church Songs. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907) ================== Baring-Gould, S., p. 114, i.

In 1858 he took the Curacy of Sherborne, Dorset; in the following year that of Upton Scudamore, where he undertook the training of the Chorus of the Warminster district for the first Choral Festival in Salisbury Cathedral; and in 1861 that of Brompton.

Mr. Chope has been one of the leaders in the revival and reform of Church Music as adapted to the Public Services. He was one of the originators of The Choir and Musical Record, and was for some time the proprietor and assistant editor of the Literary Churchman. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)
