Thank God for his indescribable gift

Sing lullaby!
lullaby baby, now reclining:
sing lullaby!
Hush, do not wake the infant king;
angels are watching, stars are shining
over the place where he is lying:
sing lullaby.

Sing lullaby!
lullaby baby, sweetly sleeping:
sing lullaby!
Hush, do not wake the infant king;
soon will come sorrow with the morning,
soon will come bitter grief and weeping:
sing lullaby

Sing lullaby!
lullaby baby, gently dozing:
sing lullaby!
Hush, do not wake the infant king;
soon comes the cross, the nails,, the piercing,
then in the grave at last reposing:
sing lullaby!

Sing lullaby!
lullaby! Is the baby waking?
sing lullaby!
Hush, do not stir the infant king,
dreaming of Easter, joyful morning,
conquering death, its bondage breaking:
sing lullaby!
