He Who Made the Starry Sky

2017, SSAA, a capella

A lilting lullaby for the Christmas season, with text adapted from Song of the Nuns of Chester, Chester Manuscript (c. 1425).

He who made the starry skies
Lully, lully, by, by, by.
Sleeping in a manger lies,
Ruler of the centuries,
Lully, lully, lu.

Joseph brings a garment there,
Lully, lully, by, by, by.
Mary wraps her child so fair,
Rests him while she sings a prayer,
Lully, lully, lu.
