I saw a fair maiden, sitting and sing

I saw a fair maiden, sitting and sing
She lulled a little child, a sweet lording
Lullay, myn lyking, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, my dear heart, mine own dear darling
That same lord is he that made all things
Of all the lords he is lord, of all the king is king
Lullay, myn lyking, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, my dear heart, mine own dear darling
There was mickle melody at that child’s birth
All that were in heaven’s bliss, they made mickle mirth
Lullay, myn lyking, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, my dear heart, mine own dear darling
Angels bright sang their song to that child
Blessed be thou and so be she, so meek and so mild
Lullay, myn lyking, my dear son, my sweeting
Lullay, my dear heart, mine own dear darling
