Lyrics

Lullaby, child to be born,
Thou shalt be carried safe and warm,
Gently cradled, kept from harm,
Until I hold thee in my arms.

Lullaby, my only one,
Sleep, thy passing's yet to come
from heaven to earth to heaven,
To us thy short time is given.

Lullaby below my heart,
Ever within, Ever a part,
Now thy life is mine to tend,
And ours shall be for thee to mend.

Lullaby, for life to come,
my joy, no less my son,
If less a king and poor,
I could not love thee more.
