Shepherds Lullaby


  Lay your weary head softly down 
Let His Peace smooth out the frown 
   Take away the heavy, replace with light 
Sleep away, sleep away into the night.
   Child of Jesus, Child of God,
He before you this world has trod;  
  He knows the footsteps you will take 
  Now trust Him to lead on the path He makes.
Sleep away, sleep away, into the night,
  All thoughts are of His Heavenly Might  
Dream of your Shepherd, you are His Lamb,
  Loved you are by the Great I Am.
