Chorus

Lullay my liking,
My dear son, my sweeting;
Lullay my dear heart,
Mine own dear darling.
I saw a fair maiden
Sitten and sing:
She lulléd a little child,
A sweeté lording.
That eternal lord is he
That made allé thing;
Of allé lordés he is Lord
Of allé kinges King.
There was mickle melody
At that childés birth:
Though the songsters were heavenly
They madé mickle mirth.
Angels bright they sang that night
And saiden to that child,
"Blessed be thou and so be she
That is both meek and mild."
Pray we now to that child,
And to his mother dear,
God grant them all his blessing
That now maken cheer.
