The vir­gin is hush­ing her ba­by to rest,
With Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!
She press­es her won­der­ful son to her breast,
Right glad then now is she!

The Babe she is nurs­ing is come down to save,
O Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!
Poor sin­ners from dark­ness and pow­er of the grave;
Right glad then now is she!

See, Je­sus looks up in His mo­ther’s kind face,
O Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!
He smiles on that mo­ther, the maid full of grace,
Right glad then now is she!
