Hush my dearest baby, sleep well this night,
Let no fear or dream disturb your perfect rest.
No evil deed or act can your conscience blight,
For you are come from God and heaven, blest
Of all abodes. So sleep my dearest baby, sleep.
Rest your tiny head upon my supporting arm
Till sleep envelopes you in her tender embrace,
Then lie in your crib, be free from hurt or harm
Till morning comes to wake you in sweet grace
Of new birth. So sleep my dearest baby, sleep.
Know you are loved in this your new home,
We’ll be there for you thru’ all of your days,
We’ll let no harm befall you, even when you roam,
We’ll call, we’ll pray for safety in all of the ways
That you may go. So sleep my dearest baby, sleep.
