Cradle Hymn

Tekst: Isaac Watts

Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber;
Holy angels guard thy bed;
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently falling on thy head.

See the kindly shepherds round him,
Telling wonders from the sky!
When they sought Him, there they found Him,
With his Virgin-Mother by.

See the lovely babe a-dressing;
Lovely infant, how He smiled!
When He wept, the mother's blessing
Soothed and hushed the holy child.

Mayst thou live to know and fear Him,
Trust and love Him all thy days;
Then go dwell forever near Him,
See His face, and sing His praise!

Wiegenhymne

xx

Stil, mijn lieveling, lig stil en slaap;
heilige engelen bewaken je bed;
ontelbare hemelse zegeningen
dalen mild neer op je hoofd.
 
Zie, de vriendelijke herders om Hem heen
vertellen over wonderen uit de hemel!
Toen ze Hem zochten, vonden zij Hem,
tezamen met zijn maagdelijke moeder.
