Cradled in the arms of Mary, mother mild, In the stable sweetly sleeps the heav'nly child, Choirs of angels softly singing, Happy dreams to Him are bringing, In the stable sweetly sleeps the heav'nly child In the stable sweetly sleeps the Jesus Child, Cradled in the arms of Mary, mother mild, Ox and ass their watch are keeping. O'er the Babe so softly sleeping, Cradled in the arms of Mary, mother mild. Softly tread and do not wake the sleeping child, Cradled in the arms of Mary, mother mild; Only love Him and adore Him, Lay your heart before him, Softly tread and do not wake the sleeping child.

No tempo is given on the music - this one sounds appropriate to me. | ||

Still, Still, Still 1. Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill! The Virgin's tender arms enfolding, Warm and safe the Child are holding, Still, still, still, He sleeps this night so chill! 2. Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep While angel hosts from heav'n come winging, Sweetest songs of joy are singing, Sleep, sleep, sleep, He lies in slumber deep. 1. Still, still, still, Wiel's Kindlein schlafen will! Maria tut es nieder singen, Ihre keusche Brust dar bringen, Still, still, still, Wiel's Kindlein schlafen will! 2. Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, Mein liabes Kindlein, schlaf! Die Engel tuan sch�¶ musizierren, Bei dem Kindlein jubilieren, Schlaf, schlaf, schlaf, Mein liabers Kindlein, schlaf!

My recommendation is Gerri Grib's "Still, Still, Still" on Home for Christmas (CLICK HERE). | ||
