Hush! my dear, lie still and slumber;
Holy angels guard thy bed!
Heav’nly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head.
Lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Sleep, my babe; thy food and raiment,
House and home, thy friends provide;
All without thy care and payment,
All thy wants are well supplied.
Lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lulla, lullaby.
How much better thou’rt attended
Than the Son of God could be
When from heaven he descended,
And became a child like thee.
Lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lulla, lullaby.
Mayst thou live to know and fear him,
Trust and love him all thy days;
Then go dwell for ever near him,
See his face and sing his praise.
Alleluia, alleluia,
See his face and sing his praise.
