MARY'S LULLABY
Composed by: Winston Coles
Published by: The Madison Corporation 2 (SOCAN)

Stand silent for a moment, you'll hear a baby cry,
And angels helping Mary sing her gentle lullaby;
With voices soft as music that babies understand,
Young Mary's gentle lullaby takes Him to slumberland.

Sleep, my precious baby, sleep,
Among the cattle, goats and sheep;
With just a manger to lie in,
The day will come you'll be a king.

The wise men stand with gifts in hand inside the stable door,
And listen to young Mary sing, helped by the heavenly choir;
They see the love upon her face and hear her heavenly song,
Then tenderly she tucks Him in, as sleepily He yawns.

Sleep, my precious baby, sleep,
Among the cattle, goats and sheep;
With just a manger to lie in,
The day will come you'll be a king.

Sleep, my precious baby, sleep,
Among the cattle, goats and sheep;
With just a manger to lie in,
The day will come you'll be a king
