Sweet was the song the Virgin sang by William Ballet (mp3)

Details

We performed this melody during a vocal training session in Nottingham in 1977. The song was a gentle hymn sung by the Virgin, As she arrived in Bethlehem Judea, Giving birth to a child, To whom the name of blessed Jesus was given: Lula, lula, lula, lullaby, she whispered to the infant, "My child, also a Redeemer born, Who has graciously descended from above To comfort us in our despair: Lula, lula, lula, lullaby, she softly spoke to the babe, Cradling him with affection on her lap.
