1 Sing lullaby!

Lullaby baby, now reclining,

sing lullaby!

Hush, do not wake the infant king.

Angels are watching, stars are shining

over the place where he is lying:

sing lullaby!

2 Sing lullaby!

Lullaby baby, now a-sleeping,

sing lullaby!

Hush, do not wake the infant king.

Soon will come sorrow with the morning,

soon will come bitter grief and weeping:

sing lullaby!

3 Sing lullaby!

Lullaby baby, now a-dozing:

sing lullaby!

Hush, do not wake the infant king.

Soon comes the cross, the nails, the piercing,

then in the grave at last reposing:

sing lullaby!

4 Sing lullaby!

Lullaby! is the baby awaking?

sing lullaby.

Hush, do not stir the infant king.

Dreaming of Easter, gladsome morning,

conquering death, its bondage breaking:

sing lullaby!
