Sweet was the Song歌词完整版
Sweet was the song the Virgin sang
When she, when she to Bethlem Judah came
And was deliver’d of a Son
That blessed Jesus hath to name.
“Lulla, lulla, lullaby, sweet Babe,” sang she
“My Son, and eke a Saviour born,
Who hast vouchsafed from on high
To visit us that were forlorn.”
“Lalulla, lalulla, lalullaby, sweet babe” sang she
And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
Pure was the voice that sang that night;
With fragrance sweet perfumed the air
As she did gaze upon her Son
She saw that Love was lying there.
“Lulla, lulla, lullaby, sweet Babe,” sang she,
“My Son, a miracle most blest,
Who, in this world of toil and strife
Art come from Heav’n to bring us rest.”
“Lalulla, lalulla, lalullaby, sweet babe” sang she,
And rocked him sweetly on her knee.
