Carol: Coventry Carol
Please remain seated and listen as the choir sing
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny, by by lully 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 do sing,
By by lully lullay?
Herod the king, in his raging
Charged he hath this day,
For 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, lulla, thou little tiny, by by lully lullay,
Thou little tiny child, by by, lully 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 do sing,
By by lully lullay?

For men of might, in his own sight,
All young children to slay

Lully, lulla, thou little tiny, by by lully lullay,
Thou little tiny child, by by, lully lullay
