Hush my dear, lie still and slumber,
Holy angels guard thy bed!
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head.
Lullaby, lullaby
Go to sleep, my love, my dear
Lullaby, lullaby
God will keep thee ever near
How much better thou'rt attended
Than the Son of God could be,
When from heaven He descended
And became a child like thee.
Lullaby, lullaby
Go to sleep, my love, my dear
Lullaby, lullaby
God will keep thee ever near
Soft and easy is thy cradle:
Coarse and hard thy Savior lay,
When His birthplace was a stable
And His softest bed was hay.
Lulla lulla, lullaby
Lulla lulla, lullaby
Mayst thou live to know and fear Him
Trust and love Him all thy days;
Then go dwell forever near Him
See His face, and sing His praise!
Lullaby, lullaby
Go to sleep, my love, my dear
Lullaby, lullaby
God will keep thee ever near
God will keep thee ever near, my dear
Hush, hush
