Sleep, baby sleep,
Thy father guards his sleep,
Thy mother shakes the dream-land tree,
Down falls a little dream for thee.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep,
The large stars are the sheep,
The little stars are lambs I guess.
The gentle moon the shepherdess,
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Away, to tend thy sheep,
Away, thou sheep dog, fierce and wild,
And do not harm my sleeping child,
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep,
Our Saviour loves his sheep,
He is the Lamb of God on high,
Who for our sakes came down to die.
Sleep, baby sleep.

Sleep, baby sleep,
Thy father guards his sleep,
Thy mother shakes the dream-land tree,
Down falls a little dream for thee.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep,
The large stars are the sheep,
The little stars are lambs I guess.
The gentle moon the shepherdess,
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Away, to tend thy sheep,
Away, thou sheep dog, fierce and wild,
And do not harm my sleeping child,
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep,
Our Saviour loves his sheep,
He is the Lamb of God on high,
Who for our sakes came down to die.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Thy father guards his sleep,
Thy mother shakes the dream-land tree,
Down falls a little dream for thee.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep,
The large stars are the sheep,
The little stars are lambs I guess.
The gentle moon the shepherdess,
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep.
Away, to tend thy sheep,
Away, thou sheep dog, fierce and wild,
And do not harm my sleeping child,
Sleep, baby sleep.
Sleep, baby sleep,
Our Saviour loves his sheep,
He is the Lamb of God on high,
Who for our sakes came down to die.
Sleep, baby sleep.
