Child, Slumber On
Child, slumber on while the man in the moon beams down upon us
Dream - sleeping in my sorry arms as I now guard against night’s gloom
Breathe precious babe; breathe in daddy’s ear forever
For there is nothing so dear to me on earth as this single sound within your room
Peace; peace be all around you. Angels surround and draw your heavenly swords
Face outward; keep your faithful watch upon this my daughter
Who means more to me than your own most powerful Lord
And gladly will I stand his punishment if I offend
But for now, this night, I pray - defend!
