Sleep so sweetly slumbering babe,
Nestled snug and warm;
For the Father sends His angels,
To keep you safe and warm.
A bundle fresh from Heaven,
Without and earthly care;
Sleeping there in innocence,
Angels hover in the air.
They whisper to you sweet dreams,
They sing a lullaby;
An angel's song to soothe you,
To quiet you when you cry.
A song of peaceful harmony,
Caressing you as you sleep;
Words drift 'round your tiny head,
While angel's guard and keep.
Sleep so sweetly slumbering babe,
While time goes gently by;
Your angels watch and sing to you,
An angel's lullaby.
