On her lap so softly sleeping
In a stable cold and poor
Ox and ass their vigil keeping
Sing lullaby, sing lullaby
My own dear son, my child
Lullaby, sing lullaby
Lullaby, my little baby
Flights of angels round his head
Sing him joyful hymns of greeting
Peace on earth, goodwill to men
Each to each the song repeating
Shepherds kneeling by his bed
Offer homage without measure
Wise men, by a bright star led
Bring him gifts of richest treasure
See the child that Mary bore On her lap so softly sleeping In a stable cold and poor Ox and ass their vigil keeping Sing lullaby, sing lullaby My own dear son, my child Lullaby, sing lullaby Lullaby, my little baby Flights of angels round his head Sing him joyful hymns of greeting Peace on earth, goodwill to men Each to each the song repeating Shepherds kneeling by his bed Offer homage without measure Wise men, by a bright star led Bring him gifts of richest treasure Explain Request ×
