Patricia Smith uses O WALY WALY again for another new text she has written in her collection And the Angels Sang.
This has Mary singing to her baby and as such is suitable for end of year celebrations and Christmas celebrations. As for the previous song, her arrangement has a key change from E to G for the fourth verse and then echoing each line.
You can get the sheet music in the collection of as an individual purchase at Willow.
1 My darling son, my hearts delight,
Love born of love, light born of light,
Sleep softly now, my little one,
Sleep softly now, my darling son.
2 Fear not the dark, fear not the night,
For here we know the world’s true light.
Sleep softly now, my little one,
Sleep softly now, my darling son.
3 At the mangerside the shepherds kneel,
Adoring here their Shepherd King.
Sleep softly now, my little one,
Sleep softly now, my darling son.
4 Hear the angels sing great songs of joy!
Just so my heart for this little boy.
Sleep softly now, my little one,
Sleep softly now, my darling son.
