Lullay, Jesu, Lullay, Lullay!

1. So blessed a sight it was to see,
How Mary rocked her Son so free;
So fair she rocked and sang "by-by."
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

2. "Mine own dear Son, why weepest Thou thus?
Is not Thy father King of bliss?
Have I not done that in me is?
Your grievance, tell me what it is."
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

3. "Therefore, mother, weep I nought
But for the woe that shall be wrought
To me, ere I mankind have bought.
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

4. "Mother, the time ye shall see
Th(at) sorrow shall brak your heart in three,
So foul the Jews shall fare with me.
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

5. "When I am naked, they will me take,
And fast bind me to a stake,
And beat me sore for man his sake.
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

6. "Upon the Cross they shall me cast,
Hand and food, nail me fast;
Yet gall shall be my drink at last;
Thus shall my life pass away.
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

7. "Ah, dear mother! yet shall a spear
My heart in sunder all to-tear;
No wonder though I careful were.
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!

8. "Now, dear mother, sing lullay,
And put away all heaviness;
Into this world I took the way,
Again to (heaven) I shall me dress,
Where joy is without end ay,
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!"
Lullay Jesu, lullay, lullay!
Mine own dear mother, sing lullay!
