Sleep, baby, sleep! The Mother sings; | |||
Heaven's angels kneel and fold their wings: | |||
Sleep, baby, sleep. | |||
With swathes of scented hay Thy bed | |||
By Mary's hand at eve was spread. | |||
Sleep, baby, sleep. | |||
At midnight came the shepherds, they | |||
Whom seraphs wakened by the way. | |||
Sleep, baby, sleep. | |||
And three kings from the East afar | |||
Ere dawn came, guided by Thy star. | |||
Sleep, baby, sleep. | |||
They brought Thee gifts of gold and gems, | |||
Pure orient pearls, rich diadems. | |||
Sleep, baby, sleep. | |||
Through heav’n, through earth, hosannas ring | |||
Sleep, baby, sleep. | |||
Sleep, baby, hush, Baby, sleep. | |||

Sleep, baby, sleep! The Mother sings;
Heaven's angels kneel and fold their wings:
Sleep, baby, sleep.
With swathes of scented hay Thy bed
By Mary's hand at eve was spread.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
At midnight came the shepherds, they
Whom seraphs wakened by the way.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
And three kings from the East afar
Ere dawn came, guided by Thy star.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
They brought Thee gifts of gold and gems,
Pure orient pearls, rich diadems.
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Through heav’n, through earth, hosannas ring
Sleep, baby, sleep.
Sleep, baby, hush, Baby, sleep.
