Grace and Grids · Children’s Sing-Along Series

A Note for Grown-Ups

Every song in this book is a lullaby — soft Christmas songs to sing to a baby at rocking-chair speed. They were written for the smallest singers of all: the ones who listen with their whole face, and fall asleep before the last verse.

HOW TO USE THIS BOOK

  • Print the pages you want, one song at a time, or keep the whole book in a binder by the piano, the rocking chair, or the car seat.
  • Every song page has the words in big, friendly print, and a “Sing it like this” idea for rocking, humming, and holding.
  • Sing along softly — every tune here is plain and simple, like a music box, so any grown-up can carry it.
  • Short on time? Sing one song a night. Babies learn by loving repetition — your voice is their favorite sound in the world.

ABOUT THE SONGS & THE TUNES

Every song in this book is an original Grace and Grids lullaby, written for this book in plain, modern words. Each song page says its title, and the credits at the back list them all.

SONG 1

Sleep, Little Baby

Words & Music: Grace and Grids (original, 2026)

VERSE 1

Sleep, little baby, sleep soft and deep, The stars are watching while you sleep; Christmas is coming with morning light — Sleep, little baby, all through the night.

VERSE 2

Sleep, little baby, safe and warm, Held in love through every storm; Mama is near you, humming low — Sleep, little baby, soft as snow.

SING IT LIKE THIS

Rock slowly side to side, and hum the last line of each verse instead of singing it.

SONG 2

Hush, My Little One

Words & Music: Grace and Grids (original, 2026)

VERSE 1

Hush, my little one, close your eyes, Hear the winter lullabies; Snow is falling, still and light, Over the town this Christmas night.

VERSE 2

Hush, my little one, rest your head, Snug and warm in your little bed; Dreams of sugarplums wait for you — Morning will bring the day brand new.

SING IT LIKE THIS

Sing it quieter every time through, till the last verse is almost a whisper.

Christmas Stars Are Shining

Words & Music: Grace and Grids (original, 2026)

Christmas stars are shining Over the rooftops white; One bright star was shining On the first Christmas night.

VERSE 2

Christmas stars are shining Over your cradle too; Just like the baby long ago, Heaven is watching you.

SING IT LIKE THIS

Point up to the “stars” on the first line, then rock your arms like a cradle on the last line.

Mama’s Christmas Lullaby

SONG 6

Angels Are Near

Words & Music: Grace and Grids (original, 2026)

Angels are near you tonight, little one, Watching you sleep till the night is done; Soft wings and starlight, gentle and true — Angels are near, and they watch over you.

VERSE 2

Angels are near you, so do not fear, Love is around you, and Mama is here; Sleep till the morning, quiet and deep — Angels are near you while you sleep.

SING IT LIKE THIS

Trace a slow circle in the air on “soft wings and starlight,” like wings going round and round.

Goodnight, Sweet Baby

Goodnight, sweet baby, goodnight, The tree lights twinkle bright; Your stocking hangs and waits for morning — Goodnight, sweet baby, goodnight.

Goodnight, sweet baby, goodnight, Sleep till the sky turns light; Tomorrow is Christmas, full of cheer — Goodnight, sweet baby, goodnight.

The last song of the night — sing it at the bedroom door, softer and slower each time.

Jesus, Little Baby

Words & Music: Grace and Grids (original, 2026)

Jesus, little baby, the stars shone bright, Shepherds came to see you on that happy night; We sing soft and quiet, just for you — Jesus, little baby, we love you.

Sing every line soft and quiet, the way the song says — a lullaby for the baby in the song, and the baby in your arms.
