384. Cradle Song

O MY deir hert, young Jesus sweit, 
Prepare thy creddil in my spreit, 
And I sall rock thee in my hert 
And never mair from thee depart. 
 
But I sall praise thee evermoir         5
With sangis sweit unto thy gloir; 
The knees of my hert sall I bow, 
And sing that richt Balulalow!
