Rest your weary head my little one, Close your eyes, Let your father sing you a lullaby, I'll sing you to sleep, and bless you for the things to come. Now hush my child, and listen to my voice, As you set sail, to dream, to let your worries go.
May you travel afar, far from here, To lands of untold riches, Where the river flows of milk and honey, Where diamonds and pearls rest on your head.
May you find fortune and happiness Joy and wonderful glee, May the angels watch over you, To protect and keep you from all harm, May you find kindness in all that you need.
May you give love, find love and be loved in return, May the sun never set on your smile, May you never know sorrow and may your happiness stretch the ocean's. Be merry, virtuous and kind, And may all that and more be returned to you So until tomorrow my little darling may you dream a while
