Dormi Jesu

The 2008 ACDA Coastal Honor Choir performing "Dormi Jesu" featuring the lovely Kristen King as our soprano soloist.

by Conor O'Reilly
Conductor: Don Brinegar

Literal:
Sleep Jesus, your Mother smiles
When she sees you sweetly sleeping,
Sleep Jesus balmily.
If you do not sleep, Mother cries,
Among the threads she sings a prayer,
Come balmy sleep.

Poetic:
Sleep, sweet babe my cares beguiling,
Mother sits beside thee smiling,
Sleep, my darling, tenderly.
If thou sleep not, mother mourneth,
Singing as her wheel she turneth,
Come, soft slumber, balmily.

sorry for dad's closeups.
