Coventry Carol (Arr. For Choir By Louis Halsey)

"Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child, 
By, by, lully, lulla,
Thou little tiny child, 
By, by, lully, lullay.

O sisters two, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do 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 young children to slay.

That woe is me, poor child, for thee,
And ever mourn and say
For thy parting neither say nor sing:
By, by, lully, lullay.

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child, 
By, by, lully, lulla,
Thou little tiny child, 
By, by, lully, lullay."
