LULLABY by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "SLEEP, SLEEP, MY DARLING"
Last Line: "DODO, MY DARLING, PEACEFULLY SLEEP"
Sleep, sleep, my darling,
Sleep tranquilly,
Mother is watching,
Praying for thee.
May holy angels
On wings of light,
Bring to my baby,
Dreams fair and bright.
Dodo, my darling, peacefully sleep.

Sleep, sleep, my darling,
Sleep tranquilly,
Thy heav'nly Father
Careth for thee.
In thy soft cradle
Peacefully sleep;
While thou dost slumber,
Watch He will keep.
Dodo, my darling, peacefully sleep.
