Thread Name: Help: 18th century songs, tunes and carols
Subject: Lyr Add: LULLAY MY LIKING^^
The following is from the Oxford Book of Carols

LULLAY MY LIKING......described as Medieval

Refrain
Lullay my liking, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay my dear heart, my own dear darling

Verses
I saw a fair maiden, sitten and sing
She lulled her little child,a sweete lording

That eternal Lord is he, that made alle things
Of alle lordes he is Lord, of alle kinges king

There was mickle melody at the childes birth
Although they were in Heaven's bliss,They made mickle mirth

Angels bright, they sang that nightand saiden to the Child
Blessed be thou and so be she ,that is both meek and mild

Pray we now to that child and to his mother dear
God grant them all his blessings that now maken cheer
