Sweet was the song the Virgin sang,
When she to Bethlem Juda came
And was delivered of a son,
That blessed Jesus hath to name:
Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby.
"Sweet babe," sang she, "my son, And Eke a Saviour born,
Who hast vouchsafed from on high
To visit us that were forlorn:
Lalula, lalula, lalulaby, Sweet babe", sang she
And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
