Past Three A Clock Lyrics

Past three a clock,
And a cold frosty morning,
Past three a clock;
Good morrow, masters all!

1. Born is a Baby,
Gentle as may be,
Son of the eternal
Father supernal.

[Refrain].
Past three a clock,
And a cold frosty morning,
Past three a clock;
Good morrow, masters all!

2. Seraph quire singeth,
Angel bell ringeth;
Hark how they rime it,
Time it and chime it. [Refrain].

3. Mid earth rejoices
Hearing such voices
E'ertofore so well
Carolling Nowell. [Refrain].

4. Hinds o'er the pearly,
Dewy lawn early
Seek the high Stranger
Laid in the manger. [Refrain].

5. Cheese from the dairy
Bring they for Mary
And, not for money,
Butter and honey. [Refrain].

6. Light out of star-land
Leadeth from far land
Princes, to meet him,
Worship and greet him. [Refrain].

7. Myrrh from full coffer,
Incense they offer;
Nor is the golden
Nugget withholden. [Refrain].

8. Thus they: I pray you,
Up, sirs, nor stay you
Till ye confess him
Likewise and bless him. [Refrain].
