Mary’s Lullaby Lyrics
This song is published in the Children’s Songbook Page #44
You can find Mary’s Lullaby sheet music here.
Verse 1:
Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.
Lullaby, my child so dear.
Thy precious life has just begun;
Thy mother holds thee near.
While Joseph watches through the night,
A star reflects thy radiant light.
Chorus:
Lullaby, lullaby, my little one.
Lullaby, my child so dear.
Verse 2:
Thy gentle head shall wear a crown,
For thy Father is the King.
Thy tender hands, so tiny now,
Have blessings great to bring.
Let all creation join my song,
For peace and love this night are born.

Mary’s Lullaby Singing Time Flip Chart
This colorful flip chart version is condensed with all the lyrics for each verse on a single page. I much prefer this format so the words can be viewed, but I’m not focusing all my attention on flipping through tons of different piece of paper throughout the song.
It also saves my printer and the extra paper cost and storage.
