Jesus, Our Refugee
Remember the Holy Innocents, the text to Hymn 247, sung at end of sermon.
Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
bye-bye, lully lullay.
1. O sisters, too, how may we do
for to preserve this day
this poor youngling for whom we sing,
bye-bye lully lullay?
2. Herod the King, in his raging
charged he hath this day
his men of might, in his own sight,
all young children to slay.
3. That woe is me, poor child, for thee!
And every morn and day,
for thy parting not say nor sing
bye-bye, lully lullay.
Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child,
bye-bye, lully lullay.
