I Saw A Fair Maiden
Composer(s): Peter Warlock
Performer(s): The Cambridge Singers



I saw a fair maiden
Sitten and sing
She lulléd a little child
A sweeté lording

Lullay my liking
My dear son, my sweeting
Lullay my dear heart
Mine own dear darling

That eternal lord is he
That made allé thing
Of allé lordés he is Lord
Of allé kinges King

There was mickle melody
At that childés birth
Though the songsters were heavenly
They madé mickle mirth

Angels bright they sang that night
And saiden to that child
"Blessed be thou and so be she
That is both meek and mild"

Pray we now to that child
And to his mother dear
God grant them all his blessing
That now maken cheer

Lullay my liking
My dear son, my sweeting
Lullay my dear heart
Mine own dear darling
