Wishing you all a happy and holy ChristMass and a Blessed New Year
A ChristMass Lullabye
Hush-a-bye, Hush-a-bye
A great star is seen in the Bethelehem sky.
Our hope of redemption Messiah and Lord;
This sweet Baby-King whom wise men have adored.
They gave precious gifts but Christ Jesus so small, One day you shall give the best gift of them all.
Hush-a-bye, Hush-a-bye, Your Mother must rest
So sweet Babe don’t you cry.
Oh Child of great destiny humbly I kneel
Close by Mary’s side and a kiss dare to steal.
Your dear Mother one day shall hold you as now.
Her tears bathe Your bloodied and insensate brow.
Hush-a-bye, Hush-a-bye,
For us You were born – born sweet Baby to die.

Dear Teresa,
The lullaby is just beautiful. What a wonderful way to finish my prayers tonight as I am finally alone and able to quietly contemplate this sweet Baby-King who was born for us.
love and prayers,
and a blessed Mary Christ Mass,
Irene
Glad you liked it Irene. Just a small tribute to God for the greatest gift He could ever have bestowed upon us.
