That power to thee might be conveyed.

Sweet baby, then forbear to weep;

Be still, my babe; sweet baby, sleep.

In this, thy frailty and thy need,

He friends and helpers doth prepare,

Which thee shall cherish, clothe and feed;

For of thy weal they tender are.

Sweet baby, then forbear to weep;

Be still, my babe; sweet baby, sleep.
