Nursery Songs

Lord we pray that you will keep,
watch upon us while we sleep.
Guard us all from harm and pain,
Till the day comes round aqain. 

Bless all those whom we love best,
Father, Mother and the rest, 
Don't forget Aunt Ann and Granny, 
darling uncle Fred and nursey Nanny,
make us good, obedient boys,
don't let baby break our toys. 

Help us all to do what's right, 
Thanks kind God, amen Good night.

Into the garden I've just run. 
No one is with me, isn't it fun? 
What are those shadows, where is the sun?
Why don't the stars shine. why are there none.
Oh! I feel frightened, night bas begun.
Where is my Nanny, what have I done.

Sleep, baby sleep, 
our cottage vale is deep,
the little lamb is on the green, 
with snowy fleece so soft and clean,
Sleep, baby sleep.

Sleep, baby sleep, 
I would not would not weep,
The little lamb he never cries, 
for bright and happy are his eyes,
Sleep, baby sleep,

Sleep, baby sleep, 
near where the woodbines creep,
Be always like the lamb so mild, 
a sweet and kind and gentle child,
Sleep, baby sleep.

Sleep, baby sleep, 
Thy rest shall angels keep. 
While on the grass the lamb shall feed,
and never suffer want or need,
Sleep, baby sleep.
