Lee - Loo - Lye, A Christmas Lullaby (PDF)
SSA or Duet with Piano
Words & Music by M Ryan Taylor

"Often in the course of a Christmas program there is room and need for a little change of timbre and texture; this lullaby for women’s chorus is perfect for that spot. It was written for a small group but would work wonderfully for a large ensemble as well.” ~ Taylor

Note: to make it a duet, leave the second soprano part out.

The Text:
Lee loo lye, Hush, while thy works sing a lullaby.
Seraphim, Cherubim, tell how he came from thy stars;
Heaven’s bright Lord of the stars lies here in my arms!

Bubbling brook, dancing in joyous measure,
Come sing of new hope, sing of life and rebirth,
Sing us a lullaby, of peace upon earth.

Little fire, fill the cold room with thy breath!
Through the trees the breezes quake,
reminded the dear child must die for our sake!

Lee loo lye, Hush, while thy works sing a lullaby.
Seraphim, Cherubim, tell how he came from thy stars;
Heaven’s bright Lord of the stars lies here in my arms!
Bubbling brook, dancing in joyous measure,
Come sing of new hope, sing of life and rebirth,
Sing us a lullaby, of peace upon earth.
