Lyrics (by Swami Kriyananda)

1. Where are you going my little one?
“In hope these empty streets I wend;
I’ve seen a star rise in the east,
And I’m looking for a friend.”
Turu, luru lurulay.
Turu, luru lurulay.

2. Where are you going, good shepherd folk?
“From a lowly valley we ascend.
A wondrous vision sent us here:
We’re looking for a friend.”
Turu, luru lurulay.
Turu, luru lurulay.

3. You learned men, where are you going?
“Our souls’ long journey we would end,
Therefore we’ve come to Bethlehem:
We’re looking for a friend.”
Turu, luru lurulay.
Turu, luru lurulay.

4. Good people, let me come with you.
Perhaps he’s just around this bend,
But whether near or far, I, too,
Have been looking for a friend.
Turu luru lurulay.
Turu luru lurulay.

Introduction

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my father I have made known unto you.”
(John 15:13-15)
