I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Bhrams' Lullaby
Original "Guten Abend, gut' Nacht"
Lyrics: Arnim & Brentano, 1st verse / G.Scherer, 2nd verse
Music: Johannes Brahms
(Thanks for the proper attributions, Mafra61)
Rise Up Singing chapter: Lullabies, p.131
C - - - / G - - C / F C G C / F C G C
Guten Abend, gut' Nacht, mit Rosen bedacht
Mit Näglein besteckt, schlüpf unter die Deck
Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
Morgen früh, wenn Gott will, wirst du wieder geweckt
Guten Abend, gut' Nacht, von Englein bewacht
Die zeigen im Traum dir Christkindleins Baum
Schlaf nur selig und süß, schau im Traum's Paradies
Schlaf nur selig und süß, schau im Traum's Paradies
Lullaby and goodnight, with roses bedight (bedight??)
With lilies o'er spread is baby's wee bed
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumbers be blest
Lay thee down now and rest, may thy slumbers be blest
Lullaby and goodnight, thy mother's delight
Bright angels beside my darling abide
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
They will guard thee at rest, thou shalt wake on my breast
