Sleep, my darling little girl , Hush-a-bye, my dear; A gentle lullaby I’ll sing for you to hear. You are a gift from God, Sent down from up above— A joy to all your kin, Given by the Father’s love. Chorus: Hush-a-bye, my little girl, My baby girl, sleep tight; You are like the sun to us— Live a life of light! Verse 2: My baby, My little sunshine, Sweet and precious child, Our little swallow-bird, Keep us ever smiling. May children’s hearts shine bright With smiles so pure and free, And voices flow like music In wondrous harmony. Verse 3: You have so many Dear, close kin; It’s hard for us to count All the little ones. A happy circle Of brothers and sisters— The Lord grants us Sons and daughters! Bridge: We will cherish our sweet ones With tenderness! And may there be many more Meetings in our lives! Final Chorus: Beloved, my baby girl Fall asleep now; Always stay beautiful, Bloom like a flower. Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye, My baby girl, sleep; You are like sunshine to us— Live a happy life!
