1. Oh, hush thee, my baby, a story I’ll tell,How little Lord Jesus on earth came to dwell,How in a far country, ’way over the sea,Was born a wee baby, my dear one, like thee.
Lullaby baby, lullaby, dear,Sleep, little baby, have nothing to fear;Lullaby, baby, lullaby, dear,Jesus will care for his little one here.
2. The story was told by the angels so bright,As round them was shining a heavenly light;The stars shone out brightly, but one led the way,And stood o’er the place where the dear baby lay.
Lullaby baby, lullaby, dear,Sleep, little baby, have nothing to fear;Lullaby, baby, lullaby, dear,Jesus will care for his little one here.
3. The shepherds here found him, as angels had said,The poor little stranger, no crib for a bed;Down low in a manger so quiet He lay,This little child Jesus, asleep on the hay.
Lullaby baby, lullaby, dear,Sleep, little baby, have nothing to fear;Lullaby, baby, lullaby, dear,Jesus will care for his little one here.
