Slowly, Gently, Resting Sweetly...


a Welsh Lullaby-Suo Gan


Hush, my dear one,

Sleep serenely,

Now, my lovely

Slumber deep.


Mother rocks you,

Humming lowly,

Close your eyes now

Go to sleep.


Angels hover,

Ever nearer,

Looking on your

Smiling face.


I will hold you,

Close enfold you

Close your eyes now

Go to sleep.


Lovely darling,

I will guard you

Keep you from all

Woe and harm.


Slowly, gently,

I will rock you,

Resting sweetly,

On my arm.


May you slumber,

E’er so softly,

Dream of visions

Wondrous fair.


I will hold you, 

Close enfold you.

Close your eyes now

Go to sleep.


May you slumber, 

E’er so softly,

Dream of visions

Wondrous fair.


I will hold you,

Close enfold you.

Close your eyes now,

Go to sleep.
