VOCES8: Lully, Lulla, Lullay - Philip Stopford

VOCES8 sings Philip Stopford's setting of 'Lully, Lulla, Lullay' in St Stephen's Walbrook Church, London.

Lully, lulla, lully lulla
By by, lully lullay
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay

O sisters too,
How may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling,
For whom we sing,
By by, lully lullay?

Lully, lulla, lully lulla
By by, lully lullay
Lully, lulla thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay

Herod, the king,
In his raging,
Charged he hath this day
His men of might,
In his own sight,
All young children to slay.

Lully, lulla, lully lulla
By by, lully lullay
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay

That woe is me,
Poor child for thee!
And ever morn and day,
For thy parting
Neither say nor sing
By by, lully lullay!

Lully, lulla, lully lulla
By by, lully lullay
Lully, lulla, thou little tiny child
By by, lully lullay
By by, lully lullay
