Variation IV: The Three Kings

There came three kings fro Galilee

Into Bethlehem, that fair city,

To seek Him that should ever be by right-a,

Lord and king and knight-a.

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.

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.

Forth then went these kingës three,

Till they came home to theri country;

Glad and blithe they were all three

Of the sight that they had see bydene-a
