Lullaby

The day is weary, and you're tired too, Come, close your eyes and drift away to sleep, Today brought many tasks for us to do, Rest, my dear one, slumber deep, so deep.

The silver moon has risen o'er the roof, Blue stars adorn the vault of heaven's dome, Sleep now, my little one, find in truth That God will guard and keep you in His home.

No one shall trouble now your restful dreams, That sweet and wondrous sleep so soft and mild: From heaven sent, an Angel's care redeems, To watch through night and shelter you, my child.

He hears the whisper of your tender heart, All sorrow from your soul He'll take away, Sleep now, my little one, take your part— God guards you through the darkness, every day.

The day is weary, and you're tired too, Come, close your eyes and drift away to sleep, Tomorrow brings much work for us to do, Rest, my dear one, slumber calm and deep.

The sun will rise again beyond the roof, The bright and radiant morning will appear, Sleep now, my little one, find in truth That God will guard and keep you, ever dear!
