I would now sing, if that I might, Of a Child, so fair to sight, A maiden bare this winter's night, So still-a; And as it was his will-a. 2. There came three kings from Galilee, To Bethlehem, that fair citie, To see Him that should ever be By right-a; Lord, and king, and knight-a. 3. As they went forth with their offering, They met Herod, that moody king, He asked them of their coming That way-a; And thus to them 'gan say-a: 4. "From whence come ye, you kings three?" "Out of the East, as you may see, To seek him that should ever be By right-a; Lord, and king, and knight-a: 5. "When you this child have been, Come you home this way again, And tell me all that ye have seen, I pray a; Go not another way-a." 6. Then of Herod, that moody king, They took their leave both old and young, And forth they went with their offering, By light-a Of the star that shone so bright-a. 7. Till they came to that blissfull place Where Jesus and his mother was, There they offered with great solace In fere-a; Gold, incense and myrrh-a. 8. When they had their offering made, As the Holy Ghost them bade, Then were they both merry and glad And light-a; It was a good fair sight-a. 9. "Anon, as on their way they went, The Father of heaven an angel sent, To those three kings that made present, That day-a Who thus to them did say-a: 10. "My Lord doth warn you every one, By king Herod ye go not home, For if you do, you will be slain Full soon-a; And woe to you to be done-a." 11. So forth they went another way, Through the might of God, his lay As the angel to them did say, Full right-a It was a good fair sight-a. 12. When they were come to their countree, Merry and glad they were all three, Of the sight that they did see By night-a; By the stars shining light-a. 13. Kneel we now all here adown To that Lord of great renown, And pray we in good devotion For grace-a In Heaven we 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 #
