Lully Lulla Thou Little Tiny Child : Lyrics
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lillay.
O sisters too,
How may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling,
For whom we do sing,
By by, lully lullay?
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lillay.
Herod, the king,
In his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might,
In his own sight,
All young children to slay.
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lillay.
That woe is me,
Poor child for thee!
And ever morn and day,
For thy parting
Neither say nor sing
By by, lully lullay!
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lillay.
