The Three Kings 2 Lyrics

Now is Christmas i-come,
Father and Son together in One,
Holy Ghost as ye be one,
In fere-a
God send us a good new year-a.

1. I would now sing, for and I might,
Of a Child is fair to sight,
His mother Him bare this enders 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 with Herod, that moody king,
He asked them of their coming
This tide a;
And thus to them he said-a:

4. "Of whence be ye, you kings three?"
"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 to this Child have been,
Come you home this way again,
Tell me the sights that ye have seen,
I pray a;
Go not another way-a."

6. They took their leave both old and young,
Of Herod, that moody king,
They went forth with their offering,
By light-a
Of the star that shone so bright-a.

7. Till they came into that 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 Herod king ye go not home,
For an you do, he will you slone
And strye-a;
And hurt you wonderly-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 star's 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 to have a place-a.
