1. Lullaby and good nightgoodnight!
With roses bedight,
With roses bedight,
Creep into thy bed,
Creep into thy bed,
There pillow thy head.
There pillow thy head.
If God will thou shalt wake,
If God will thou shalt wake,
When the morning doth break,
When the morning doth break,
If God will thou shalt wake,
If God will thou shalt wake,
When the morning doth break.
When the morning doth break.

Those blue eyes close tight,
Those blue eyes close tight,
Bright angels are near,
Bright angels are near,
So sleep without fear.
So sleep without fear.
They will guard thee from harm,
They will guard thee from harm,
With fair dreamland’s sweet charm,
With fair dreamland’s sweet charm,
They will guard thee from harm,
They will guard thee from harm,
With fair dreamlandsdreamland’s sweet charm.
With fair dreamlandsdreamland’s sweet charm.
