Coventry Carol - Religious Music

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child, 
Bye, bye, lully, lullay.
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 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 children young, to slay.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee, 
And ever mourn and say; 
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing, 
By, by, lully, lullay.
