Sweet baby, sleep

Sweet baby sleep, what ails my dear?
What ails my darling thus to cry?
Be still my child and lend thine ear
To hear me sing thy lullaby
Whilst thus thy lullaby I sing
For thee great blessings ripen me
Thine eldest brother is a King
And hath a kingdom bought for thee
Sweet baby then for bear to weep
Be still my babe, sweet baby sleep
Sweet baby sleep
Sweet baby sleep and nothing fear
For whosoever thee offend
By thy protector threatened are
And God and angels are thy friends
When God with us was dwelling here
In little babes He took delight
Such innocents as thou my dear
Are ever precious in His sight
Sweet baby then for bear to weep
Be still my babe, sweet baby sleep
Sweet baby sleep
