Still, still, still / Traditional

SOURCE - CPDL
FOR - various arrangements

Still, Still, Still
The baby needs to sleep
Round the crib the angels singing
music's beauty, softly ringing.
      Still, Still, Still
The baby needs to sleep
      Sleep, sleep sleep
The baby is asleep.
Hark! as Mary gently singing;
from her heart, her son adoring
      Sleep, sleep sleep
The baby is asleep
      Broad, broad, broad
The love of God is broad.
For he has left his throne in glory;
walks with us on pathways, weary
      Broad, broad, broad
The love of God is broad.
      Rise, rise, rise
Let Adam's children rise.
For Christ has paid for all our failing
kneel before him and adoring -
      Rise, rise, rise
Let Adam's children rise.
      Hail! hail! hail!
We pray the Lord above
to open wide the gates of heaven;
die to sin , new life is given.
      Hail! hail! hail!
We pray the Lord above
