A Mother's lullaby
Crosby, Fanny J ( 1876 ) ( Printed Music )

There cometh a dove on beautiful winds,
As white as snowflakes are;
And tenderly now it listens to hear.
My baby's evening prayer.

Then kneel at my side, your little hands fold,
And say this prayer with me;
Dear Jesus look down, and make me so good,
That I Thy child may be.

Then ask Him tonight when you are asleep
To give you peaceful rest,
And if you should die before you awake,
To fold you on His Breast.

That beautiful dove so gentle and pure
Has spread its pinions fair,
And up to the throne of Jesus above
Has borne my darling's prayer.
