English text
- Sweet was the song the Virgin sang
- When she to Bethlehem Judah came,
- And was delivered of a son
- That blessed Jesus hath to name.
- Lulaby, sweet babe sang she, ...
- S. Solo:
- My son and eke a saviour born,
- Who hath vouchsafed from on high
- To visit us that were forlorn.
- Tutti:
- Lulaby, sweet babe sang she,
- And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
- Lulaby, lulaby san she,
- And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
Lyrics: W. Ballet - (17th Century)
