The Carol of the Innocents(Based on The Coventry Carol)
Lyrics by Rogue & Traditional
Lullee Lullay, my sleeping Child, By-bye lullee, lullay.
Lullee Lullay, my little tiny Child, By-bye lullee, lullay.
Oh wounded too, what may we do Whose words will redeem this day, My poor Youngling for whom I sing
By-bye lullee, lullay.
Herod the King, in his raging, Has stolen our joy away;
With men of might; extinguish the light, As children so young... are slain.
In sorrow we, poor Child for Thee, As ever we mourn and say;
This parting stings... my lips still sing, By-bye lullee, lullay.
Lullee Lullay, my sleeping Child, By-bye lullee, lullay.
Lullee Lullay, my little tiny Child, By-bye lullee, lullay.
God’s fragile light survived this nightThe prince of our hope remains
Let angels guard his sacred heartRemember lullee, lullay
Lullee Lullay, oh precious child, To Egypt lullee, lullay.
Lullee Lullay, in Mary’s arms, By-bye lullee, lullay.
