Sleep, baby, sleep!
Thy father's watching the sheep,
Thy mother's shaking the dreamland tree,
And down drops a little for thee.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
Sleep, baby, sleep!
large stars are the sheep,
The little stars are lambs, I guess,
The bright moon is the shepherdess.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
Sleep, baby, sleep!
Thy Savior loves sheep;
He is the Lamb of God on high
for our sakes came down to die.
Sleep, baby, sleep!
