Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay

O sisters too, how may we do

For to preserve this day

This poor youngling for whom we sing

Bye, bye, 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

Lullay, Thou little tiny Child

Bye, bye, lully, lullay

For thy parting neither say nor sing

Bye, bye, lully, lullay

That woe is me, poor Child for Thee!

Bye, bye, lully, lullay
