Lullaby, oh, Lullaby.
My beautiful darlings sleep.

Come to Me, Gentle Lady
Stand by my side in the dark of night.
Please stand by my side in my greatest fright.
Come to me, come to me, gentle lady.
Hold my hand as they walk this path.
Please lead me down this narrow path.
My eyes are so heavy.
My head longs for sleep.
My heart longs for rest.
Be my mother now.
Oh come, sweet lady, sweet mother of love.
Lead me to you.
Lead me to Your Son.
Come to me, come to me, gentle lady.
Stand by my side in the dark of night.
Please bring me peace this very night.

Frère Jacques (Are You Sleeping)
Frère Jacques, Frère Jacques,
Dormez-vous? Dormez-vous?
Sonnez les matines, sonnez les matines
Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping?
Brother John, Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing
Ding dang dong, ding dang dong.
When I Close the Door (Catholic Lullaby)
No need to fear the dark.
No need to be frightened when I close the door.
For I have asked a lady
A special one
To watch over you.
She is a mother, too.
And She knows how much you mean to me.
She will stand by your side when I cannot.
You will not be alone.
For She loves You, as I do.
She loves You and so does Her Son.
No need for a candle, my darling one.
She will bring the light wherever She goes.
No need to fear the dark.
No need to be frightened when I close the door.
For the Lady of goodness, of sweetness, and love is by your side.
All through the night.
For She loves You, as I do.
She loves You and so does Her Son.
