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, now a-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, now a-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 babe awaking? Sing lullaby! Hush, Do not stir The Infant King. Dreaming of Easter, gladsome, morning, Conquering death, its bondage breaking: Sing lullaby!  less
