Lyrics by：George Wither

Composed by：Ralph Vaughan Williams

Sweet baby sleep what ails my dear

What ails my darling thus to cry

Be still my child and lend thine ear

To hear me sing thy lullaby

My pretty lamb forbear to weep

Be still my dear sweet baby sleep

Whilst thus thy lullaby I sing

For thee great blessings ripening be

Thine eldest brother is a king

And hath a kingdom bought for thee

Sweet baby then forebear to weep

Be still my dear sweet baby sleep

When God with us was dwelling here

In little babes he took delight

Such innocents as thou my dear

Are ever precious in his sight

Sweet baby then forbear to weep

Be still my dear sweet baby sleep

A little infant once was he

And strength in weakness then was laid

Upon his virgin mother's knee

That power to thee might be conveyed

Sweet baby then forbear to weep

Be still my dear sweet baby sleep
