Lyrics

The Virgin’s Slumber Song
Composer: Max Reger
English Words: Edward Teschemacher
Amid the roses Mary sits and rocks her Jesus
-
Child
While amid the treetops sighs the breeze so warm and mild

And soft and sweetly sings a bird upon the bough

Ah, Baby, dear one,
slumber now
Happy is Thy laughter; holy is Thy silent rest

Lay Thy head in slumber fondly on Thy mother's breast

Ah, Baby, dear one, 
slumber now
