The Song:  Mary's Lullaby

Lyrics

1.  Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.

Lullaby my child so dear.

They precious life has just begun; 

Thy mother holds thee near.

While Joseph watches through the night,

A star reflects thy radiant light.

2.  Thy gentle head shall wear a crown,

For thy Father is the King.

They tender hands, so tiny now, 

Have blessings great to bring.

Let all creation join my song, 

For peace and love this night are born.

Lullaby, lullaby my little one.

Lullaby, my child so dear.

Optional descant:

While Joseph watches through the night,

A star reflects thy light

2.  Let all creation join my song,

For peace and love are born.
