Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Sweet was the song the Virgin sung

When she to Bethlem Juda came

And was deliver'd of a Son

That blessed Jesus hath to name

[Verse 2]

Lulla, lulla, lullaby

Lulla, lullaby

Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby

Lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby

Sweet Babe, sang she

And rockt Him sweetly on her knee

[Verse 3]

Sweet Babe, sang she

My Son, and eke a Saviour born

Lulla, lulla, lulla, lulla, lullaby

Who hast vouchsafed from on high

To visit us that were forlorn

[Verse 4]

Lullaby, lullaby, lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

Lullaby, lullaby

[Verse 5]

Sweet Babe, sang she

And rockt Him sweetly on her knee
