Lyrics: Lully, lulla, 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, Charg'd he hath this day His men of might, In his own sight, All children to slay. That woe is me, Poor child, for thee! And ever morn and may, For thy parting Nor say nor sing, By by, lully, lullay.
Notes: Voicing: SATB and soprano solo; Feast of the Holy Innocents, December 28
