Lute-Book Lullaby Songtext
von Choir of King’s College, Cambridge

Sweet was the song the Virgin sang,
When she to Bethlem Juda came
And was delivered of a son,
That blessed Jesus hat 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:

'Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby,
Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby,
