Full Lyrics
1.
I saw a fair maiden
Sitten and sing:
She lulléd a little child,
A sweeté lording.
Chorus:
Lullay my liking,
My dear son, my sweeting;
Lullay my dear heart,
Mine own dear darling
2.
That eternal lord is he
That made allé thing;
Of allé lordés he is Lord
Of allé kinges King.
Chorus:
3.
There was mickle melody
At that childés birth:
Though the songsters were heavenly
They madé mickle mirth.
Chorus:
4.
Angels bright they sang that night
And saiden to that child,
"Blessed be thou and so be she
That is both meek and mild."
Chorus:
5.
Pray we now to that child,
And to his mother dear,
God grant them all his blessing
That now maken cheer.
Chorus:
