Sweet was the song the Virgin sung

When she to Bethlem

When she to Bethlem Juda came

And was delivered of a son

That blessed Jesus hath to name

Lulla lulla lulla lullaby

Lulla lulla lulla lullaby

Sweet babe sung she

My son and eke a saviour born

Who hast vouchsafed from on high

To visit us

To visit us that were forlorn

Lulla lulla lulla lullaby

Sweet babe sang she

And rockt him sweetly on her knee
