Susie reminded me what day this is. I was not even thinking about the Holy Innocents. Here is a more appropriate hymn than the last posted.
The Coventry CarolHere is an interesting link to some information about the mystery plays. Posted by tripp at December 28, 2004 12:04 PM | TrackBackLullay, Thou little tiny Child,
By, by, lully, lullay.
Lullay, Thou little tiny Child.
By, by, lully, lullay.O sisters, too, how may we do,
For to preserve this day;
This poor Youngling for whom we sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.Herod the King, in his raging,
Charged he hath this day;
His men of might, in his own sight,
All children young, to slay.Then woe is me, poor Child, for Thee,
And ever mourn and say;
For Thy parting, nor say nor sing,
By, by, lully, lullay.
