LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "REST, MY BABE, REST"
Last Line: "SO REST, MY BABY, REST!"

Rest, my babe, rest!
Under the pale stars dim clouds are rifting,
Over the long trees breezes are lifting;
Oh, baby, baby, babe of mine,
Hush now to slumber, heart divine!
Though fears assail, though griefs betide,
Yet God's dear arms are very wide,
And mother's love is thine;
So rest, my baby, rest!
