An Angel's Lullaby


Sleep so sweetly slumbering babe
Nestled snug and warm
For the Father sends His angels
To keep you safe and warm

A bundle fresh from Heaven
Without an earthly care
Sleeping there in innocence
Angels hover in the air

They whisper to you sweet dreams
They sing a lullaby
An angel's song to soothe you
To quiet you when you cry

A song of peaceful harmony
Caressing you as you sleep
Words drift 'round your tiny head
While angel's guard and keep.

Sleep so sweetly slumbering babe
While time goes gently by
Your angels watch and sing to you
An angel's lullaby
