Sweet baby, sleep; what ails my dear?
\nWhat ails my darling thus to cry?
\nBe still, my child, and lend thine ear,
\nTo hear me sing thy lullaby.
\nMy pretty lamb, forbear to weep;
\nBe still, my dear; sweet baby, sleep.
\nThou blessed soul, what can\u2019st thou fear
\nWhat things to thee can mischief do?
\nThy God isnow thy father dear,
\nHis Holy Spouse thy mother too.
\nSweet baby, then forbear to weep;
\nBe still, my babe; sweet baby, sleep.
\nWhilst thus thy lullaby I sing,
\nFor thee great blessings ripening be;
\nThine Eldest Brother is a king,
\nAnd hath a kingdom bought for thee.
\nSweet baby, then forbear to weep;
\nBe still, my babe; sweet baby, sleep.
\nSweet baby, sleep, and nothing fear;
\nFor whatsoever thee offends
\nBy thy protector threatened are,
\nAnd God and angels are thy friends.
\nSweet baby, then, forbear to weep;
\nBe still, my babe; sweet baby,sleep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
