Now Ys Crystemas Y-cum Lyrics
1. Now ys Crystemas y-cum,
Fadyr and Son togedyr in oon,
Holy Goste, as ye be oon,
in fere-a,
God send us a good n(e)w yere-a.

2. I wolde yow synge for and I mygohgt,
Off a chylde ys fayre in syghgot,
Hys modyr hym bae thys yndyrs nyghot
so stylle-a,
And as yt was hys wylle-a.

3. There came iij kynges fro Galylee
Into Bethleem, that fayre cytee,
To seke hym that ever shulde be
by rhghot-a
Lorde and kynge and knyghot-a.

4. As they cam forth with their offrynge,
They met with Herode that mody kynge,
[Omitted line]
thus tyde-a,
And thus to them he sayde-a.

5. "Off wens be ye, yow kynges iij.?
Off the Este, as ye may see,
To seke hym that ever shulde be
by ryghgot-a
Lorde and kynge and knyghot-a."

6. "Wen yow at thys chylde have be,
Cum home aoeyne by me,
Tell me the syghotes that yow have see,
I praye yow;
Go yow no nodyr way-a."

7. They toke her leve both olde and yonge
Off Herode that mody kynge;
They went forth there offrynge
by lyghoth-a.
By the sterre that shoone so bryghot-a.

8. Tyll they cam in to the place
There Jhesu and hys modyr was,
Offryd they up with grete solace
in fere-a.
Golde and sense and nyrre-a.

9. The fadyr of hevyn an awngylle down sent,
To thyke ijj kynges that made presente
thys tyde-a,
And thys to them he sayd-a.

10. "My lorde have warnyd yow everychone,
By Herode kynge yow go not home;
For and yow do, he wylle you slone
and strye-a,
And hurte yow wondyrly-a."

11. Forthe them wente thys kynges iij,
Tylle they cam home to their cyntre
Glade and blyth they were alle iij,
Off the syghotes that they had see,
by-dene-a,
The cumpany was clene-a.

12. Knele we now here a-down,
Pray we in good devocioun
To the kynge of grete renown,
of grace-a,
In hevyn to have a place-a.
