Rest Tired Eyes Lyrics

Rest tired eyes a while
Sweet is thy baby’s smile
Angels are guarding and they watch o’er thee

Sleep, sleep, grah mo chree
Your sorrows we do see
Angels are guarding
And they watch o’er thee

The birdeens sing a fluting song
They sing to thee the whole day long
Wee fairies dance o’er hill and dale
For very love of thee

Dream, Dream, grah mo chree
Peaceful your dreams will be.
Angels are guarding and they watch o’er thee

The primrose in the sheltered nook
The crystal stream the babbling brook
All these things God’s hands have made
For very love of thee

Twilight and shadows fall
Peace to His children all
Angels are guarding and they watch o’er thee
As you sleep
May Angels watch over and May they guard o’er thee

Background Information

This lovely lullaby was taught to me by my friend and Irish sean os singer Aine Ui Chellaigh as The Balleyaemon Cradle Song. The verses have been to meet the needs of this album. Special thanks to Aine for teaching me this song so that I could share it with you.
