The text is a poem by Isaac Watts (1674-1748), the English hymn-writer better known for such traditional favorites as "Joy to the World" or "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross." Appearing in 1715 under the title, "Hush! My Dear, Lie Still and Slumber," the lullaby portrays a mother singing to her baby of the serenity and comfort her baby enjoys, contrasted with the bleak conditions in which the baby Jesus was born. As she sings, the mother figuratively takes her child to the cross and expresses her longing to see the child come to know the Savior who died there. In this setting for solo soprano, accompanied by piano and cello, there are moments of tenderness, interspersed with interludes of intense emotion, finished with a tranquil conclusion.
