"I'm conjuring a White-hand Yuletide!"

Wassail! wassail! all over the town, Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown; Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree; With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee. Here's to our horse, and to his right ear, God send our master a happy new year: A happy new year as e'er he did see, With my wassailing bowl I drink to thee. So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek Pray God send our master a good piece of beef And a good piece of beef that may we all see With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee. Here's to our mare, and to her right eye, God send our mistress a good Christmas pie; A good Christmas pie as e'er I did see, With my wassailing bowl I drink to thee. So here is to Broad Mary and to her broad horn May God send our master a good crop of corn And a good crop of corn that may we all see With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee. And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear Pray God send our master a happy New Year And a happy New Year as e'er he did see With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee. Here's to our cow, and to her long tail, God send our master us never may fail Of a cup of good beer: I pray you draw near, And our jolly wassail it's then you shall hear. Come butler, come fill us a bowl of the best Then we hope that your soul in heaven may rest But if you do draw us a bowl of the small Then down shall go butler, bowl and all. Be here any maids? I suppose here be some; Sure they will not let young men stand on the cold stone! Sing hey O, maids! come trole back the pin, And the fairest maid in the house let us all in. Then here's to the maid in the lily white smock Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin For to let these jolly wassailers in.

Gold for this King, we magi bring Incense for the priest, prayers released See the prophecy is true, we give myrrh too For a burial in stone before He takes His throne Magi in their tower, break a royal seal, On an ancient scroll, penned long ago Prophecy of dreams, strange starlight gleams Six hundred years or more before it was revealed That a King's Star in the east would rise Brightest of angels over Middle-earth skies To reach the city of peace, it took 69 weeks All wisdom they used, to find the King of the Jews A false steward on the throne, gave the name of His home Bethlehem though you're small, bring forth ruler of all They followed the star, with treasure to bring They came to a house, to worship a king Gold for this King, we magi bring Incense for the priest, prayers released See the prophecy is true, we give myrrh too For a burial in stone before He takes His throne
