1 Lullaby, Lullaby, Angels guard thy sleeping,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Faithful watch they're keeping,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Soft the winds are sighing,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Peaceful lullaby.

Chorus:
Lullaby, Lullaby,
Soft the winds are singing,
Lullaby, Lullaby,
Peaceful Lullaby.

2 Lullaby, Lullaby, Sweet the tones are ringing,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Angel guards are singing,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Peaceful be thy dreaming,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Peaceful lullaby. [Chorus]

3 Lullaby, Lullaby, Not for thee the morrow,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Hast'ning with its sorrow,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Sleep in quiet resting.
Lullaby, Lullaby, Peaceful lullaby. [Chorus]

4 Lullaby, Lullaby, Free from care or danger,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Rest thee in the manger,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Evil ne'er can harm thee,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Peaceful lullaby. [Chorus]
