Now is Christmas ycome, Father and Son together in one, Holy Ghost, as ye be one, in fere-a, God send us a good New Year-a! 2. I would you sing for an I might, Of a Child is fair in sight, His mother him bare this endernight so still-a, And as it was His will-a. 3. There came three kings fro Galilee Into Bethlehem, that fair city, To seek Him that ever should be by right-a, Lord and king and knight-a. 4. And they came forth with their offering, They met with Herod, that moody king, [Lost line] this tide-a, And this to them he said-a: 5. "Of whence be ye, you kinges three?" "Of the East, as you may see, To seek Him that ever should be by right-a, Lord and king and knight-a." 6. "When you at this child have be, Come home again by me, Tell me the sight that you have see, I pray you; Go you no other way-a." 7. They took their leave, both old and ying, Of Herod, that moody king; They went forth with their offering by light-a, By the star that shone so bright-a. 8. Till they came into the place Where Jesus and His mother was, Offered they up with great solace in fere-a Gold, incense, and myrrh-a. 9. The Father of heaven an angel down sent To thiccy three kings that made present this tide-a, And this to them he said-a. 10. "My Lord hath warned you every one, By Herod king you go not home; For an you do, he will you slone and strye-a And hurt you wonderly-a" 11. Forth then went these kinges three, Till they came home to their country; Glad and blithe they were all three Of the sight that they had see bydene-a; The company was clean-a. 12. Kneel we now here a-down, Pray we in good devotion To the King of great renown, of grace-a, In heaven to have a place-a. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
