Hushaby, hushaby
Christmas stars are in the sky
Sweet the bells of Christmas Eve
Babies, each a kiss receive
Hushaby, goodnight
Hushaby, goodnight
Lullaby, lullaby
Babies in their cradles lie
Every one in white is gowned
Hush, make not a single sound
Lullaby, goodnight
Lullaby, goodnight
Rockaby, rockaby
Christmastide draweth nigh
Quiet now the tiny feet
Babies sleep so still and sweet
Sweetest dreams, goodnight
Sweetest dreams, goodnight
About This Song
A Christmas Lullaby is a popular traditional Christmas carol. It was commissioned in 1989 by the Bach Choir in celebration of the seventieth birthday of its conductor, Sir David Willcocks. The haunting melody of the verses and the reflective refrain of 'Ave Maria' have made this an immensely popular carol.
