Once songs as lullabies to thee I sung	A
To sleep hath sung thee now an angel's tongue	A
	-
From the German of Ruckert	B
	-
	-
	-
A lovely babe was lying	C
Upon its mother's breast	D
And she with soft low music	E
Was hushing it to rest	D
	-
The song was sweet and gentle	F
And loving in its tone	G
And in its touching tenderness	H
A mother's love was shown	G
	-
And still it floated onward	I
With melody so deep	J
Till closed the dark fringed eyelids	K
The baby was asleep	J
	-
And still beside his cradle	F
She sang the same low hymn	L
Till he smiled as he was sleeping	C
At angel fancies dim	L
	-
Years passed The helpless infant	M
Was now a happy boy	N
And often rang his laughter	O
In notes of heartfelt joy	N
	-
Upon his mother's bosom	P
I saw the child again	Q
And his little head was drooping	C
In weakness and in pain	R
	-
Back from his marble forehead	S
The hair streamed golden bright	T
But yet his dark eye sparkled	U
With more than mortal light	T
	-
And suddenly he whispered	I
What music sweet I hear	V
'Tis not the song you used to sing	C
At night O mother dear	W
	-
But sweeter far and softer	O
Than notes you ever sung	A
It is as if a silver bell	X
Its pleasant chimings rung	A
	-
It tells of rest dear mother	O
Of slumber calm and deep	J
And I am worn and weary	Y
And fain 'would sink to sleep	J
	-
Darkness is closing round me	Y
You're fading from my sight	T
I hear it still dear mother	O
Kiss me once more good night	T
	-
He slept but angel voices	Z
Had sung his lullaby	A2
And sweet shall be his waking	C
In our Father's home on high	A2
