Songtexte I Saw A Maiden - John Rutter , Choir of Clare College, Cambridge , Traditional

I saw a maiden sitting and sing
She lulled a child, a little lording

Lullay, lullay, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, lullay, my dear heart
My own dear, darlin'

This very Lord, he made all things
And this very God, is the king of all kings

Lullay, lullay, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, lullay, my dear heart
My own dear, darlin'

There was sweet music at this child's birth
And Heaven filled with angels, making much mirth

Lullay, lullay, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, lullay, my dear heart
My own dear, darlin'

Heaven's angel sang to welcome the child
Now, born of a maid, all undefiled

Lullay, lullay, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, lullay, my dear heart
My own dear, darlin'

Pray we and sing on this festal day
That peace may dwell with us alway

Lullay, lullay, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, lullay, my dear heart
My own dear, darlin'
