sleep in heavenly peace

Rest in tranquility

Sleep in heavenly peace is a phrase from the Christmas carol "Silent Night," expressing a wish for serene, blessed rest.

It typically describes the infant Jesus sleeping, though the phrase has extended to mean dying peacefully or resting in eternal tranquility: She's sleeping in heavenly peace now.

The expression evokes divine protection and perfect stillness.
