Candle: Coventry Carol Lyrics

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
And like we were long ago

Candle, candle, guide us and protect us
From those in darkness
From those in darkness

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully lullay

O sisters too, how may we do
For to preserve this day
This poor youngling for whom we do sing
Bye bye, lully lullay

Herold the king in his raging
Charged he hath this day
His men of might in his own sight
Poor young children to slay
That woe is me, poor child for thee
And ever morn and day
For thy parting neither say nor sing
Bye bye, lully lullay

Lully, lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully lullay, thou little tiny child
Bye bye, lully lullay
