Hush now my child dry your little eyes The one who made you hears your little cries Hush now my darling be not afraid For you are safe and in his hands you are laid Hush now my little one dream your sweet dreams His angels keep close though they are unseen Hush now my baby rest your sweet head For he is awake while you sleep in bed Sleep now my child so safe and so sound Can you feel our love and blessings that abound Wherever you go he is close at hand Someday my baby I pray you'll understand One day you'll be grown and we'll be so proud Every night by your bed on our knees with heads bowed We prayed for you in every moment that came For joy, blessings, and that in his arms you'd remain Close your eyes and take a breath let sweet sleep descend Let your worries fall away with the day's end
