Mary’s Lullaby
(written by Ray Scarbrough)
Twilight is near
& so is your rest
Jesus, my dear baby boy.
Your mama is here
& wants only the best
for you my bundle of joy.
So sleep, sleep
my dear precious lamb
While angels look on from the sky
Sleep, sleep
My dear precious lamb
So goes Mary’s lullaby
Darkness has fallen
On your cross my son
Your sufferings brought
Tears to my eyes
Your father is call’n
Your work here is done
I’ll hold you again in the skies
I too must sleep
For a better rest waits
In Jesus’ arms safe & strong
He’ll hum & rock me
Until I awake
With melodies learned of his mom
