Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Unlike they were long ago,
Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Sing their song of long ago
Candle Candle
are the children safe now?
Unlike we were long ago,
Candle Candle
Guide us and protect us
from those in darkness
from those in darkness
Lully, Lulla
Thou little tiny child
By, By, Lully lullay
Thou little tiny child
By, By, Lully Lullay
Oh sisters too how may we do
fot to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
By, By, Lully Lullay
Herod the king, in his raging,
charged he hath this day
Hus men of might, in his own sight
All Young Children To Slay
That woe is me poor child for thee
And ever moum and day
For thy parting, neither say nor sing
By, By, Lully, Lullay
