I would now sing for and I might, Of a child so fair to sight, A Virgin bore this winter's night, So still-a! There came three Kings from Galilee, To Bethlehem that fair citie, To see Him that should ever be, Lord, and King, and Knight-a, Lord, and King, and Knight. 2. As they went with their offering They met Herod that stern King; He ask'd them of their coming That way-a; "From whence come ye, ye monarchs three?" "From the East as you may see! To seek Him that should ever be, Lord, and King, and Knight-a Lord, and King, and Knight." 3. "When you unto this child have been, Come you home this way again, And tell me all that ye have seen, I pray-a;" Of Herod then that moody King, Both old and young their leave taking, Forth went they with their offering, Led by a star so bright-a, By a star so bright. 4. Till they came to that blissful place, Where Jesus with His Mother was, They worship'd there with great solace, In fere-a; And when they had their offering made, According as the Lord them bade, Of all the treasures that they had, Gold, Frankincense and Myrrah-a, Frankincense and Myrrh. 5. Anon, as on their way they went, God the Lord an angel sent To those three Kings that made present, To say-a; The Lord doth warn you ev'ry one To go not by King Herod home, For if we do ye are undone, And woe will come full soon-a, Woe will come full soon. 6. So forth they went another way, Through the might of God that day And did the angel to them say, Full right-a; When they were come to their countree, So glad and merry were all three To tell the sight that they did see By that star's shining light-a, That star's shining light. 7. Now let us kneel all here adown, To that Lord of great renown, Who worthy is to wear the crown, Full right-a; Now is the time of Christmas come, The Father, who, now with the Son, And with the Holy Ghost, is One, Send us a good new year-a Send us a good new year.
