Lullaby

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-bye,

Sweet Babe," sang she,

And rocked him sweetly on her knee.

"Sweet Babe," sang she, "my son,

And eke a Saviour born,

Who hath vouchsafèd from on high

To visit us that were forlorn:

"Lalula, lalula, lalula-bye,

Sweet Babe," sang she,

And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
