Darkness Comes Quickly

Darkness comes quickly, it’s already night
Watch over my Saviour, till dawn and the light
Alone in the darkness, a soft lullaby
Be still sleepless child, no reason to cry.
Dream sweet my dear heart
Forget now, o child, your sorrow and grief
There in the stable, there in the heath
The angels your cradle could not have adorned
More beautifully in this prestigious home
Dream sweet my dear heart
Close your eyes, in the rest and in peace
Before my departure, your blessing i seek
So peace can be mine, when i go to rest
And gladly lay down, in you i am blessed
Dream sweet my dear heart
