As the lovely maiden cradled her dear Child,
She rocked Him gently, crooning with voice mild.
‘Li li li, my darling, dearest Child of mine,
li li li , my dearest, lovely, lovely Child.’

All the words that maiden sang to Him,
Came from a heart so joyful, free from sin,
‘Li li li , my Kingling, greatest Kingling mine,
li li li, my Kingling, greatest heav’nly King’.

Then the host of angels, gathered all above,
Sang with the maiden their own song of love:
‘Li li li, earth’s flower, loveliest flow’r of all,
li li li, earth’s flow’r, O holiest Child of all.’
