Destroyers and Other Verses/Sleep, My Darling, Naught Can Harm Thee

Sleep, my darling, naught can harm thee,

May no sudden fear alarm thee,

Let my singing rock thy slumber,

Baby, sleep!

Once within a lowly manger,

Mary hid our Lord from danger:

Soft and silent swings thy cradle,

Baby, sleep!

God shall hold thee in His keeping,

Angel-wings about thee sleeping,

Sleep, my darling, Lord and master,

Baby, sleep!
