Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber, holy angels guard your bed.
Holy angels guard your bed.
Heavenly blessings without number gently fall upon your head.
Gently fall upon your head.

Soft and warm your mother’s arms, but coarse and hard the manger was.
Coarse and hard the manger was.
Born at night within a stable, lying on a bed of straw.
Lying on a bed of straw.

See the simple shepherds round him, telling wonders seen that night.
Telling wonders seen that night.
Kings then found him in the stable, with his mother by his side.
With his mother by his side.
