The Crossing Cradle Song

Текст с Bandcamp а: Hush my dear, lie still and slumber Holy angels guard thy bed Heavenly blessings without number Gently fall upon thy head Sleep my babe, thy food and raiment House and home, thy friends provide All without thy care or payment All thy wants are well supplied How much better thou art attended Than the Son of God could be When from heaven he descended And became a child like thee Soft and easy is thy cradle Coarse and hard the Saviour lay When his birthplace was a stable And his softest bed was hay Mayst thou live to know and fear him Trust and love him all thy days Then go dwell forever near him See his face and sing his praise Then go dwell forever near him See his face and sing his praise from Til We Meet Again, released December 30, 2021 Words: Isaac Watts (16741748), Melody: early 19th century American
