Lyrics
Lully,lulla,
thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lullay.
thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters, too,
How may we do,
For to preserve this day;
This poor youngling for whom we do sing,
By by, lully, lullay?

Herod the King,
in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All young children to slay.

That woe is me,
Poor child, for thee!
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, neither say nor sing,
By by, lully, lullay!

Lully,lulla,
thou little tiny child,
By by, lully, lullay.
thou little tiny child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
