Once as I Remember Songtext
von Monteverdi Choir, John Eliot Gardiner

Once as I remember, at the time of Yule
After mid-December, when it bloweth cold
I, O heard a mother fairly singing sweet Jesu
Lam, lam, la-le
Lam, lam, la-le
Lam, lam, la-le
Near as I was able, on my knee fell I
At the Bethlehem stable, where the babe did lie
Then the Virgin Mother fairly singing sweet Jesu Lam, lam, la-le
Lam, lam, la-le
Lam, lam, la-le
Herdmen from the prairie, came and piped for glee
To the babe and Mary, king of glory he
Then the Virgin Mother fairly singing sweet Jesu
Lam, lam, la-le
Lam, lam, la-le
Lam, lam, la-le
