Sleep, my Little One, Sleep

1 Sleep, my little one, sleep,
Narrow thy bed and deep,
Hunger, nor thirst, nor cruel pain,
Ever can hurt my babe again;
I, thy mother, will bend and sing,
Watch thee slumbering,
Sleep, my little one, sleep, sleep.

2 Sleep, my little one, sleep,
Narrow thy bed and deep,
Soon in the angels’ tender arms,
Close sheltered there from earth’s alarms,
Thou wilt waken, sweet baby mine,
In thy home divine;
Sleep, my little one, sleep, sleep.

3 Sleep, my little one, sleep,
Narrow thy bed and deep,
Folded your hands in death’s mute pray’r,
Never to reach in wild despair,
Hunger, anguish, will soon be o’er
I can weep no more;
Sleep, my little one, sleep, sleep.

4 Sleep, my little one, sleep,
Narrow thy bed and deep,
I too shall soon be laid to rest,
Close by the side of baby blest;
Safe is baby, earth’s anguish done,
Keep thee, holy one,
Sleep, my little one, sleep, sleep.
