Lullaby On Christmas Eve Lyrics

1. Mother her vigil is keeping
Hush, little babe, to her song;
Rest three secure in thy sleeping,
Grow thee more stately and strong.
Slumber, slumber,
Gently thine eyelids close:
Slumber, slumber,
Cradled in sweet repose.

2. Mother in fervent devotion
Bends o'er the cradle tonight,
Shields from all earthly commotion,
Shelters her treasured delight,
Biding, biding,
Caroling angels wait
Biding, biding,
Vigil at heaven's gate.

3. Babe of my bosom, be winging
Softly where dream-lands begin,
Christmas eve bells area-ringing,
Festively calling thee in,
Kling-klang, kling-klang,
Dream of the Child divine,
Kling-klang, king-klang,
Dear little babe of mine.
