Sweet was the song the Virgin sung,

When she to Bethlem Juda came,

And was deliver’d of a Son,

That blessed Jesus hath to name.

Jesus,

Lullaby,

Sweet Babe,

sang she.

My Son and eke a Saviour born,

Who hast vouchsafed from on high 

To visit us that were forlorn.

And rock’d Him sweetly on her knee.

 

甜蜜是聖母瑪利亞唱的歌， 

當她到猶大地的伯利恆， 

被交付了一個兒子， 

受祝福的耶穌因而得名。 

耶穌基督，

她唱著搖籃曲， 

甜心寶貝，

我的兒子，一個救主出生， 

他從高處獲得了保證 

去拜訪那些被遺棄的人。

在她的膝蓋上溫柔地搖著他。
