Love’s Lullaby

Lullaby, baby-bye, cradled in blue,
Mother and angels keep watch over you,
Under your slumber robe, precious one, rest,
Lullaby, sleep-a-bye, in your soft nest.

Lullaby, baby-bye, soar in your dreams
Over the housetop, the mountains and streams;
Higher and higher, love, soon you will fly
Into the dreamland on love’s lullaby.

Lullaby, baby-bye, cradled in blue,
Sleep on and dream on your nap-a-bye through,
In your sweet slumber love’s lullaby hear:
“Lullaby, sleep-a-bye, Mother is near.”

Love clothes the lily in radiant white.
Love feeds the lambkins, and guards through the night,
Love watches over each hamlet and hall,
Love never fails, but it cares for us all.
