Christmas Night — Cradle Song

All the heav'ns are lit by a bright starry glow,

But the babes are asleep in the town far below.

They are sleeping and dreaming each one in his bed,

While the angels acclaim a Boy King overhead.

Lulla, my love, 0 lulla, my love,

The King of the world's coming down from above.

All the Boo-books are silent in willow tree glade,

And the night heron listens in star-spangled shade,

While the moon like a sentry stands guard on the hill.

But below in the town all the babes slumber still .

Lulla, my love, 0 lulla, my love,

The King of the world's coming down from above.

There are lights in the heav'ns in praise of a King,

There is music triumphant, and voices that sing,

Till at last in the town far below them it seems

That the babes murmur softly and smile in their dreams.

Lulla, my love, 0 lulla, my love,

The King of the world's coming down from above.
