The songs lyrics are from the poem "A Lullaby" by Eugene Field.
The stars are twinkling in the skies,
The earth is lost in slumbers deep;
So hush, my sweet, and close thine eyes,
And let me lull thy soul to sleep.
Compose thy dimpled hands to rest,
And like a little birdling lie
Secure within thy cozy nest
Upon my loving mother breast,
And slumber to my lullaby,
So hushaby, hushaby,
Hush my sweet and close thine eyes,
And slumber to my lullaby,
So hushaby, O hushaby,
The moon is singing to a star
The little song I sing to you;
The father sun has strayed afar,
As baby's sire is straying too.
And so the loving mother moon
Sings to the little star on high;
And as she sings, her gentle tune
Is borne to me, and thus I croon
For thee, my sweet, that lullaby
Of hushaby, hushaby,
Hush my sweet and close thine eyes,
And slumber to my lullaby,
So hushaby, O hushaby,
There is a little one asleep
That does not hear his mother's song;
But angel watchers--as I weep--
Surround his grave the night-tide long.
And as I sing, my sweet, to you,
Oh, would the lullaby I sing--
The same sweet lullaby he knew
While slumb'ring on this bosom too--
Were borne to him on angel's wing!
So hushaby, hushaby,
Lullaby, Lullaby, Lullaby
So hushaby, So hushaby,
Lullaby, Hushaby, Lullaby

For 167 years little Clara A Dulaney's grave has been alone in an area outside of Central City, Colorado in an area once called Missouri Flats. She passed away at 1 year and 5 months and 12 days. Mining life was hard on families especially the children. I've known about her grave for years. Hearing this lullaby a few months ago reminded me of her "sleeping" in the dark and cold alone and it brought tears to my eyes. Now I'm in the process of arranging with Central City to volunteer to take care of her little grave that has been neglected for so many years! Thank you, Bro. Murphy for this lullaby of love! ❤😢 I hope this inspires other people to volunteer to take care of other resting places of the pioneers who built Central City, Colorado especially the little ones! ❤❤❤❤

I am autistic and that song helps me getting quiet and calm down. I hear it at the evening.

[@amberpelton5679]

I am autistic too! I love listening to music like this. It helps me calm my spirit. Especially after feeling overwhelmed. ❤❤

[@JudyBossier-z6q]

Yes the song is beautiful and​ very soothing ❣️

Congrats Brother Murphy. I know your mother and I know how very proud of your talents and how you use them to bring happiness to others she is. Another masterpiece!

[@ellen823ful]

This is so beautiful it makes me cry 😿

[@mattrees1760]

This a song is so gentle and sweet. A BEAUTIFUL song! Thank you Murphy, choir, and orchestra.

[@keyplayer123]

I notice at least one singer who stays silent for a line or two of this profound text. As we go through life we find, more often than we ever expected, those who have lost children. Thank you for bringing this touching reflection.

[@chischilisnez7811]

Stunningly beautiful. Ryan Murphy, Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra, you ALL rock!

[@elyprudence941]

Música preciosa! Lleva mi alma al cielo❤️

Absolutely lovely. And it happened to be premiered right at my bedtime. I'll sleep well tonight!

Please enable closed captioning to your music. Voices are drowned out in music for some of us with "senior" ears. At first this seemed like a beautiful lullaby. Not until reading the words in the description, do you realize how beautifully sad this is.

Diction is lost with recording live performances. When I'm in the audience listening to them live, diction wasn't a problem

Moro em São Paulo, Brasil... Falo a língua portuguesa e não compreendo a língua inglesa, por isto não entendi o significado da musica!... Um modo de melhorar este trabalho tão bonito é tornar a letra da música compreensível aqueles que não falam inglês adicionando um tradutor universal a página: The Tabernacle Choir ar Tem...

The song reminds me when I was a child ..what a wonderful rendition

Uma canção de ninar por Eugene Field As estrelas estão brilhando nos céus, A terra está perdida em sono profundo; Então, cale-se, minha doce, e feche seus olhos, E deixe-me embalar sua alma para dormir. Prepare suas mãos com covinhas para descansar, E como um passarinho deite-se Seguro dentro de seu ninho aconchegante Sobre o seio de minha mãe amorosa, E adormeça com minha canção de ninar, Então hushaby-O hushaby. A lua está cantando para uma estrela A pequena canção que eu canto para você; O pai sol se afastou, Como o pai do bebê está se afastando também. E assim a amorosa mãe lua Canta para a estrelinha no alto; E enquanto ela canta, sua suave melodia é trazida para mim, e assim eu canto Para ti, minha doce, aquela canção de ninar De hushaby - O hushaby. Há um pequenino dormindo Que não ouve a canção de sua mãe; Mas anjos vigilantes - enquanto eu choro - Cercam seu túmulo durante toda a noite. E enquanto eu canto, minha querida, para você, Oh, a canção de ninar que eu canto - A mesma doce canção de ninar que ele conheceu Enquanto dormia neste peito também - Foi levada a ele na asa de um anjo! Então hushaby--O hushaby.

Where are the words for those who don't understand the text being sung? I found them in the description ❤ Now where's the sad story about this lullaby?💖

[@markw1706]

The stars are twinkling in the skies, the earth is lost in slumber deep; So hush, my sweet, and close thine eyes, And let me lull thy soul to sleep. Compose thy dimpled hands to rest, And like a little birdling lie Secure within thy cozy nest, Upon my loving mother breast, And slumber to my lullaby, Do hush a by hush a by, Hush my sweet and close thine eyes, And slumber to my lullaby So hush-a by, O hush-a-b-y The moon is singing to a star, The little song I sing to you, The father sun has strayed a far, As baby’s sire is straying too, And so the loving mother moon, Sings to the little star on high; And as she sings, her gentle tun, Is borne to me, and thus I croon. For thee, my sweet, that lullaby Of husg-a-by, hush-a-by. Hush my sweet and close thine eyes, and slumber to my lullaby. So hush-a-by. O hush-a-by. There is a little one asleep, that does not hear his mother’s song; But angel watchers as I weep surround his grave the night-tide long. And as I sing, my sweet, to you, Oh would the lullaby I sing, The same sweet lullaby he knew, While slumbring on this bosom too, Were borne to him on angel’s wing! So hush-a by hush-a-by, Lullaby, Lullaby Lullaby So hush-aby So hush-a by, Lullaby, Hush-a-by, Lullaby

Ryan Murphy attended Sandy Hook Elementary school growing up apparently and the rest is history. This lullaby is for those children and other children that are taken from us too soon needlessly! 😢

[@IntoAllTruth.]

What I hear is shh shh shh shhhuuh. I can't make out most of the words. 😢

[@donwasley2575]

Where the number of views are under the video title touch the word "more" and you see the lyrics of this sadly beautiful lullaby.

It is not a hymn but a lullaby for a child. It's Ryan Murphy's music set to a poem "A Lullaby" by Eugene Field.

I wish there were lyrics so I could sing along to the song

[@lynaefrates1670]

The stars are twinkling in the skies, The earth is lost in slumbers deep; So hush, my sweet, and close thine eyes, And let me lull thy soul to sleep. Compose thy dimpled hands to rest, And like a little birdling lie Secure within thy cozy nest Upon my loving mother breast, And slumber to my lullaby, So hushaby--O hushaby. The moon is singing to a star The little song I sing to you; The father sun has strayed afar, As baby's sire is straying too.
