Our Lady Sat Within Her Bower Lyrics

1. Our Lady sat within her bow'r,
And sweetly sang from hour to hour,
La-lulla-lu:
Ho! Rest thee, my Bairn, and my God thereto;
La-lulla, Babe Jesu!

2. In reverent wise, with holy hands,
She wrapt the Child in swathing bands.

3. But, as the sung the glad [Refrain],
Her tears gan trickle fast as rain.

4. A wonder sight it was to see
How Mary rockt him on her knee,

5. And bade him rest, and stint his weep,
Who giveth his beloved sleep.
