Cradle Song

(Johannes Brahms)

So goodnight now once more
With roses roofed o'er
All tied up with boughs
Slip under the clothes
When the morning shall break
Please the Lord, I will wake
When the morning shall break
Please the Lord, I will wake

Good night then once more
By angels watched o'er
In dreams thou shall see
A fair Christmas tree
Go to sleep, close thine eyes
Thou shall see paradise
Go to sleep, close thine eyes
Thou shall see paradise

Go to sleep, close your eyes
Thou shall see paradise
