This is a mix of two lovely songs - one from England and one from Ireland. The Coventry Carol and Wexford Carol. I also added an accent instrumental part that can be played by flute or violin or cello - parts are all included. The original piece has the flute written in it but all are added at the end with one page for each part. cdboss@cvalley.net
Lyrics:

Christmas Carols

(The Coventry Carol and Wexford Carol)

Arranged by Connie Boss

 

(Solo)

Lullay thou little tiny child, By by lully lullay

Lullay thou little tiny child, By by lully lullay

 

Verse 1:

Good people all this Christmas time

Consider all and bear in mind,

What our good God for us has done

In sending His beloved Son

With Mary holy, we should pray to God with love

To God with love this Christmas Day.

 

Verse 2:

The night before that happy tide,

The noble virgin while with her guide,

Were long time seeking up and down,

To find a lodging in the town.

But mark how all things had come to pass

From ev’ry door repelled at last

As long foretold their refuge all

Was but a humble, oxen’s stall

 

Verse 3:

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep

Their flocks of lamb and feeding sheep

To whom God’s angels did appear

Which put the shepherds in great fear.

Prepare and go the Angel’s said

To Bethlehem, be not afraid

For there you’ll find this happy morn

A princely babe, sweet Jesus born.
