Christmas Cradle Song
Sweet dreams, form a shade o'er my lovely infant's head
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams by happy, silent moony beams
Sweet sleep, with soft down weave thy brows an infant crown
Sweet sleep, Angel mild, hover o'er my happy child
Sweet smiles in the night hover over my delight
Sweet smiles, Mother's smiles all the livelong night beguiles
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs chase not slumber from thy eyes
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles all the dovelike moans beguiles
Sleep, sleep, happy child, all creation slept and smil'd
Sleep, sleep, happy sleep while o'er thee thy mother weep
Sweet babe, in thy face Holy image I can trace
Sweet babe once like thee, thy maker lay and wept for me
Wept for me, for thee, for all when he was an infant small
Thou his image ever see heav'nly face that smiles on thee
Smiles on thee, on me, on all who became an infant small
Infant smiles are his own smiles heav'n and earth to peace beguiles
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams by happy, silent moony beams
Sweet sleep, with soft down weave thy brows an infant crown
Sweet sleep, Angel mild, hover o'er my happy child
Sweet smiles in the night hover over my delight
Sweet smiles, Mother's smiles all the livelong night beguiles
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs chase not slumber from thy eyes
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles all the dovelike moans beguiles
Sleep, sleep, happy child, all creation slept and smil'd
Sleep, sleep, happy sleep while o'er thee thy mother weep
Sweet babe, in thy face Holy image I can trace
Sweet babe once like thee, thy maker lay and wept for me
Wept for me, for thee, for all when he was an infant small
Thou his image ever see heav'nly face that smiles on thee
Smiles on thee, on me, on all who became an infant small
Infant smiles are his own smiles heav'n and earth to peace beguiles
