Christmas Song Follies, day 6

Back on schedule now:

Then entered in those wise men three,
fell reverently upon their knee,
and offered there in his presence
their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

Kudos to msmemory again, who correctly identified this as "The First Noel"

And, because I know there are enough of you out there who are medieval music fans, a little extra credit just for you:

Tempus adest gratiae
hoc quod optabamus
camine leticiae
devote reddamus.

A quick response on the Latin from fencerm2 who identified it more or less correctly as Gaudete, Gaudete (Anon. Swedish 16th cen.).

Not entirely certain about the first, BUT I do know the second is Gaudete.

Not 100% right on the title but close enough. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that someone guess this one first.

Were it not for having sung this peice in Tropes, I might not have. Otherwise I'd have commented on the irony of the Jew getting it right. :-)
