Am   Em  Am  Em

Verse 1:
Am                 C         C/G
Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber,
C           Am    G   C
Holy angels guard thy bed.

Gently stealing on thy head.

Verse 2:
Am                  C      C/G
How much better art thou attended
C               Am  G     C
Than the Son of God could be,
C        Am      Dm    Am  G
When from heaven He descended
Am     Em               Am     Em   Am    Em
And became a child like thee?

Am            C      C/G
Soft and easy is thy cradle--
C                   Am   G   C
Coarse and hard the Savi-our lay,
         Am         Dm    Am  G
When His birthplace was a stable,
Am      Em              Am     Em   Am    Em
And His softest bed was hay.

Am                 C         C/G
Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber,
C           Am    G   C
Holy angels guard thy bed.
C        Am        Dm      Am  G
Heavenly blessings without num-ber
Am     Em              Am     Em   Am    Em
Gently stealing on thy head.
Am     Em              Am
Gently stealing on thy head.
