Dormi, Jesu! Mater ridet
Quae tam dulcem somnum videt
Si non dormis, Mater plorat
Inter fila cantans orat
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule.
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule.
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule.
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule.
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule.
Dormi Jesu, blandule!
Blande, veni, somnule.

Sleep, Jesus! My cares beguiling:
Mother sits beside thee smiling
If thou sleep not, mother mourneth
Singing as her wheel she turneth
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily.
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily.
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily.
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily.
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily.
Sleep, Jesus, tenderly!
Come, soft slumber, balmily!
