I love Thee, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky, And stay by my cradle until morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay, Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to live with Thee there. Topics: Jesus, Birth; Jesus, Our Love for Him Used With Tune: CRADLE SONG
