Mary’s Lullaby
Children’s Songbook
(1989, 2017 ed.), no. 44
1. Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.Lullaby, my child so dear.Thy precious life has just begun;Thy mother holds thee near.While Joseph watches through the night,A star reflects thy radiant light.
[Chorus]Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.Lullaby, my child so dear.
2. Thy gentle head shall wear a crown,For thy Father is the King.Thy tender hands, so tiny now,Have blessings great to bring.Let all creation join my song,For peace and love this night are born.
