Sweet was the song the Virgin sang, 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," sang she, "my son, And Eke a Saviour born, Who hast vouchsafed from on high To visit us that were forlorn: Lalula, lalula, lalulaby, Sweet babe", sang she And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
