Joseph's Lullaby (Hoffman)
Music for Children, Submitted Music (1998-2006)
The Shepherds are gone, and the choir too.
The new star’s joined the sky.
Mary’s sleeping and dreaming of life with you
Now it’s just you and I.
So sleep dear baby Jesus
Savior of all mankind
Wise men still seek thee,
Humble men still find.
I was warned in a dream of King Herod’s pride
And so we now must go,
To Egypt where we can safely hide
And we can watch you grow.
So sleep, dear baby Jesus
Savior of all mankind
Wise men still seek thee,
Humble men still find.
I will teach thy hands, as a carpenter,
To shape and smooth the wood.
Loving touches will heal those who suffer
As only thy hands could.
So sleep, dear baby Jesus
Savior of all mankind.
Wise men still seek thee,
Humble men still find.
