God bless mamma, God bless dada,
God teach baby to do right;
I’m tired and I’m sleepy, put me in my cot,
Mamma and dada, good-night.
Baby was up with the lark this morn,
Coaxing for just one kiss,
Filling with sunshine our humble home,
Filling our hearts with bliss,
Ah! we seemed to see a vision
Of angels so bright and fair,
Hov’ring around with protecting wings,
List’ning to baby’s prayer.--REFRAIN.
Baby was up with the lark this morn,
Filling our hearts with joy,
Humbly we knelt and prayed to Heaven,
“Spare us our baby boy,
From the paths of sin, oh, save him,
And guard him from every snare.
Deign to look down in Thy infinite love,
Hearken to baby’s prayer.”--REFRAIN.
