Darkness comes quickly, it's already night Watch over my Savior, till dawn and the light Alone in the darkness, a soft lullaby Be still sleepless child, no reason to cry
Dream sweet my dear heart
Forget now, o child, your sorrow and grief There in the stable, there in the heath The angels your cradle could not have adorned More beautifully in this prestigious home
Dream sweet my dear heart
Close your eyes, in rest and in peace Before my departure, your blessing I seek So peace can be mine, when I go to rest And gladly lay down, in you I am blessed
