‘Pon Christmas Night, a wintry world forsaken
Had beckon’d forth the Star - a Child is born!
That ushered forth a Peace, so calm and quaint,
And bathed this world in a heav’nly Dawn.
Lullabye, sweet Babe! Lullabye, so long ago -
‘Pon this Christmas Night.
Unto the shepherds, Seraphic hosts appear’d
To lead a road all holy, gentle, kind!
Towards the Lamb, a Prince of Peace so dear,
Kept by the Mystic Rose all Divine!
Lullabye, sweet Babe! Lullabye, so long ago -
‘Pon this Christmas Night.
Before the cradle-throne, where Christ asleeping,
Faithful from yonder came (in poor and fright)
And adorned God! In reverence and weeps,
Exalted they, “Glory be to Light!”
Lullabye, sweet Babe! Lullabye, so long ago -
‘Pon this Christmas Night.
‘Pon Christmas Night, came down a Love remained
Ev’n as I shall, in time or death, depart…
So sing in Alleluyahs! To His joyous reign,
I give to Him: my humble Heart!
Lullabye, sweet Babe! Lullabye, so long ago -
‘Pon this Christmas Night.
