Sleep

Gently close thy laugh­ing eye,
Thy fa­ther guards the sheep,
Narrow thy bed and deep;
On Thy bed of hay,
On Thy bed of hay,
Mother dear sang.
Softest hay be­neath Thee lies;
Beneath the flow­ers, the sun and dew,
He giv­eth His be­lov­èd sleep.
Undisturbed and sa­tis­fied.
Secure I rest up­on the wave,
What would we give to our be­loved?
Great Lord of earth and sea and sky,
Above him, the eter­nal cloud,
Thy con­flicts now are past,
Who will hide lit­tle ba­by?
end
O, then fear not, tho’ the sha­dows
Wake, and o’er thy fol­ly weep;
To turn the night to day;
