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.
