Lyrics

(verse 1)
Twilight is near
and so is your rest;
Jesus, my dear baby boy.
Your mama is here
and wants only the best;
for you my bundle of joy.

(chorus 1)
So sleep, sleep.
my dear precious lamb;
While angels look on from the sky.
Sleep, sleep.
My dear precious lamb
So goes Mary's lullaby.

(verse 2)
Darkness has fallen
On your cross my son.
Your sufferings brought
Tears to my eyes.
Your father is calling
Your work here is done.
I'll hold you again in the skies.

(chorus 2)
So sleep, sleep.
my dear precious lamb;
While angels look on from the sky.
Sleep, sleep.
My dear precious lamb
So goes Mary's lullaby.

(verse 3)
I too must sleep
For a better rest waits;
In Jesus' arms safe & strong.
He'll hum & rock me
Until I awake!
With melodies learned of his mom!

(Chorus)
So sleep, sleep.
my dear precious lamb;
While angels look on from the sky.
Sleep, sleep.
My dear precious lamb
So goes Mary's lullaby.

(Tag)
Sleep, sleep.
My dear precious lamb
So goes Mary's lullaby.

So goes Mary's lullaby.
