English text

Sweet was the song the Virgin sang

When she to Bethlehem Judah came,

And was delivered of a son

That blessed Jesus hath to name.

Lulaby, sweet babe sang she, ...

S. Solo:

My son and eke a saviour born,

Who hath vouchsafed from on high

To visit us that were forlorn.

Tutti:

Lulaby, sweet babe sang she,

And rocked him sweetly on her knee.

Lulaby, lulaby san she,

And rocked him sweetly on her knee.

Lyrics: W. Ballet - (17th Century)
