Hushaby, hushaby, (1)
Christmas stars are in the sky;
Sweet the bells of Christmas eve,--
Babies, each a kiss receive,--(2)
Hushaby, good-night,
Hushaby, good-night! (3)

Lullaby, lullaby,
Babies in their cradles lie; (4)
Every one in white is gowned,
Hush, make not a single sound! (5)
Lullaby, good-night,
Lullaby, good-night! (6)

Rockaby, rockaby,
Christmas-tide draweth nigh; (7)
Quiet now the tiny feet,
Babies sleep so still and sweet,--
Sweetest dreams, good-night, (8)
Sweetest dreams, good-night! (9)
