I heard the voice of Jesus say
“Come unto Me and rest
Lay down, oh weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast”
I came to Jesus as I was
So weary, worn and sad
I found in Him a resting place
And He has made me glad
Hush-a-by baby
Oh, ever so dear
Hush-a-by baby
I’ll carry you near
Hush-a-by baby
God sees all our tears
And keeps our bottles of tears
Hush-a-by baby
These cries in the night
Never are lost
In the mist of time
Hush-a-by baby
All things will be right
He’ll wipe away all our tears
Hush-a-by baby
As winter winds blow
Hush-a-by baby
Lean in from the cold
Hush-a-by baby
There’s warmth for your soul
A blanket for your soul
Hush-a-by baby
These whispers will soothe
Your heart like a deer
That darts through the wood
Hush-a-by baby
There’s One who is good
The Oak of Peace for your heart
The Oak of Peace for your heart
(Ooo-o-o) hush-a-by, hush-aby
(O-o-o) hush-a-by
(Ooo-o-o) hush-a-by, hush-aby
(O-o-o) hush-a-by
Hush-a-by baby
There’s no need to fret
Hush-a-by baby
Though dawn is not yet
Hush-a-by baby
The child on her chest
A mother cannot forget
Hush-a-by baby
So much we can’t see
May fear flee away
That we both may sleep
Hush-a-by baby
The Lord surely keeps
Mother and child in His arms
He keeps us both in His arms
