Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber,

Holy angels guard thy bed.

Heavenly blessings without num-ber
Am Em Am Em Am Em
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,

When from heaven He descended
Am Em Am Em Am Em
And became a child like thee?
Verse 3:
Am C C/G
Soft and easy is thy cradle--
C Am G C
Coarse and hard the Savi-our lay,

When His birthplace was a stable,
Am Em Am Em Am Em
And His softest bed was hay.

Gently stealing on thy head.
