Candle, candle, are the children safe now? |
|
Unlike they were long ago |
|
Candle, candle, are the children safe now? |
|
Sing the song of long ago |
|
Candle, candle, are the children safe now? |
|
Unlike we were long ago |
|
Candle, candle, guide us and protect us |
|
From those in darkness, from those in darkness |
|
Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny child |
|
By, by, lully, lullay |
|
Thou little tiny child |
|
By, by, lully, lullay |
|
Oh sisters too, 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 morn and day |
|
For Thy parting neither say nor sing |
|
By, by, lully, lullay |
|
Lully, lullay, Thou little tiny child |
|
By, by, lully, lullay |
|
Thou little tiny child |
|
By, by, lully, lullay |
