Slumber on, Baby dear
Do not heed thy mother’s sigh,
Breath’d for him far away
Whilst she sings thy lullaby!
Slumber on, o’er thy sleep
Loving eyes will watch with care;
In thy dreams may thou see
God’s own angels hov’ring here.
Slumber on, may thy sleep
Softly on thy eyelids lie,
While I watch, chanting low
Thy sweet soothing lullaby.

Slumber on, happy child,
May life’s storms pass gently by,
When this voice, hushed and still,
No more sings thy lullaby!
Slumber on, happy child
May life’s storms pass gentle by
When this voice, hush’d and still
No more sings thy lullaby!

In this heart, torn with grief,
Lies a doating love for thee;
Father come, bless our child,
Sweetly slumb’ring on my knee.
Slumber on, may thy sleep
Softly on thy eyelids lie
While I watch, chanting low,
Thy sweet soothing lullaby.
