Angels sing me lullabies
Softly lilting voices rise
Wafting gently through the air
Carrying an earnest prayer:
“Dream of Jesus, little one
He who hung the moon and sun
Cradles you all through the night
Safely snug ‘til morning light.
Safely snug ‘til morning light.”
(My father [Sophie's Great Grandfather] wrote an original tune for this lullaby. It may also be sung to the tune of Mary Poppins’ “Stay Awake.”)
