about

Main melody based on the English carol, The Coventry Carol - a song sung by the Anglican church on Dec 28 mourning the infanticide of King Herod. This song is also for all those who have lost their lives through modern infanticide of all methods. Music is traditional English, the text is by Martin Shaw.

lyrics

Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
By-bye lully, lullay.
Lullay, thou little tiny Child,
By-bye lully, lullay.

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day,
This poor Youngling for whom we sing
By-bye lully, lullay.

Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All children young, to slay.

Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting nor say nor sing,
By-bye lully, lullay.
