16080. The Virgin Is Hushing Her Baby To Rest

1 The vir­gin is hush­ing her ba­by to rest,
With "Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!"
She press­es her won­der­ful son to her breast,
Right glad then now is she!

2 The Babe she is nurs­ing is come down to save,
O "Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!"
Poor sin­ners from dark­ness and pow­er of the grave;
Right glad then now is she!

3 See, Je­sus looks up in His mo­ther’s kind face,
O "Lul­la­by, lul­la­by, beau­ti­ful Child!"
He smiles on that mo­ther, the maid full of grace,
Right glad then now is she!
