English text
O sleep thou heaven-born treasure, thou,
Sleep sound, thou dearest Child;
White angel wings shall fan thy brow
With breezes soft and mild.
We shepherds poor are here to sing
A simple lullay to our King.
Lullaby lullaby,
Sleep, sleep softly, lullaby.
See, Mary has with mother's love
A bed for Thee outspread
While Joseph stoops
And watches at Thy head,
The lambkins in the stall so nigh,
That Thou may'st sleep, have hush'd their cry.
Lullaby, Lullaby
Sleep, sleep softly, Lullaby.
And when Thou'rt big and art a man
Full woe's in store for Thee;
For cruel men Thy death will plan
And hang Thee on a tree.
So sleep, my Baby, whilst Thou may,
'Twill give Thee rest against that day.
Lullaby, Lullaby,
Sleep, sleep softly, Lullaby.
