Sleep On Sweet Babe

Sleep on sweet babe, lest you should see The depth of man`s iniquity His measure of what life is worth Upon this wrecked and war-torn earth Yes slumber on and feel no pain Nor see the evil one to reign Do not your eyes be open wide Stay sleeping in your crib and hide Sleep on sweet babe stay soft and pure No human suffering to endure Keep shut your eyes and slumber deep Your precious innocence to keep And still`ed be your tiny world Your senses never be unfurled Thus not to see, nor feel, nor hear This world of sadness, pain and fear
