Sleep, gentle Cherub, sleep descend : from the Oratorio Judith by T.A. Arne. Libretto by Issac Bickerstaffe.
Blow, blow thou winter wind. A contrasting song to Sleep, gentle Cherub, sleep descend.

Sleep, gentle Cherub, sleep descend,
Thy healing wings protective spread,
And o’er his sacred temples bend,
Bend, o bend, their salutary shade.
