1. 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,
Mm, sweet Babe,' sang she,
'My Son and eke a Saviour born
Who hast vouchsafed from on high
To visit us that were forlorn.
'Lalulla, lalullaby, Sweet Babe', sang she,
And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
2. Pure was the voice that sang that night
with fragrance sweet perfumed the air,
As she did gaze up on her Son
She saw that love was lying there.
'Lulla, lulla, sweety Babe,'sang she,
My Son, a miracle most blest
Who in this world toil and strife
Art come from Heav'n to bring us rest
'Lalulla, lalullaby, Sweet Babe', sang she,
And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
