Now Is Christmas Ycome Lyrics

1. 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.
