Lyrics
Sweet Baby Sleep
Sweet baby sleep, what is my dream?
What is my darling thus to cry?
Be still my child and bend thy knee
To hear me sing thy lullaby
Thy pretty head from that to weep
Be still my dear, sweet baby sleep
The King of Kings when he was born
Had not so much for outward ease
By him such dressings were not worn
Nor such like swaddling clothes as these
Sweet baby then for bed to weep
Be still my dear, sweet baby sleep
Was this thy lullaby?
I saw thee great born to be
Thy dearest brother is a King
And doth the kingdom watch for thee
Sweet baby then for bed to weep
Be still my babe, sweet baby sleep
