I have used a bit of Mozart for this lullaby which Mary might have sung for her new baby.

 

Mary’s Lullaby

 

1

Sleep, baby Jesus

Precious and new

Old faithful donkey

Gazes at you

Daddy smiles, you are safe here

Sleep all night through.

2

Sleep, baby Jesus

Shepherds have gone

Yet angel voices

Still linger on

All the starry heavens echo

With joyful song.

3

Sleep, baby Jesus

Stars shining in the sky

Fade in the east now

As dawn draws nigh

In God’s love we shelter, Daddy,

Baby and I.

 

Here is the sheet music:

And my parents singing it with me on piano.
