1. GO, MAGI, ON YOUR WAY (French, XVIIth Century)

"Go, Magi, on your way, your dromedaries guiding,
Make haste; do not delay, your followers with you riding.
Above your tents on high a wondrous star is glowing,
To lead you, in the sky, to far Judaea going.

If in some secret hall you've laid up royal treasure,
In leaving, take it all, to give in princely measure.
Go follow where you see the guiding star, now knowing
'Tis only for you three it came, your pathway showing."

Now Bethlehem at last the princely train was nearing;
Jerusalem they passed, in royal state appearing.
The star that shone above, beyond the clouds, to cheer them,
Would ever onward move, its radiance always near them.

"It is a sign you see, O Magi, you must stay here.
Then humbly bow the knee; your sandals cast away here.
Approach with reverent fear and awe the stable lowly,
This place that you draw near, the very ground is holy."

Beside the child these men were kneeling to adore Him.
They doffed their turbans then and treasures laid before Him.
"O Child, our God," they said, "Receive here, we entreat you,
From Gentiles hither led, the gifts we bring to greet you."

2. LULLING HER CHILD (Czecho-Slovakian)

Lulling her child to quiet sleep, gently she sang.
Sang to the darling child she loves, watching o'er Him.
"Sleep, my delight, my child, sleep well, God's Son you are.
Sleep, little child of mine, lie still, Hope of the world.

"For you I've made the cradle here, Saviour of all;
For you I've brought these creatures near, singing your praise.
Sleep now, my beauty, my dear child, o Crown supreme
Blessing you bring to all mankind, all who love you."

"Sleep, 'tis your mother's wish for you, my little Dove.
Sleep, Joy of all the angel host, my little pearl.
Glory and praise to you be given, dear child by me.
Waking, you'll eat sweet honey here, brought by the bee."

Lulling her child to quiet sleep, His mother sang
Sang to the darling child she loves, watching o'er Him.
"Sleep, my delight, my child, sleep well, God's Son you are.
Sleep, little child of mine, lie still, Hope of the world."

4. HURRY HERE, FRIENDS (Provencal: 1570-1610)

Hurry here, friends, oh quick! Hasten to me each one
You should be here now, each one should serenades play.
Sing "Do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si, do," if nothing better you should know.

In the sky hear the bright angels sing a glad song.
Shepherds, come here, come behold this child so lovely,
This lovely child come down from heaven to save this world, lost, unforgiven.

Lilies I bring, and sweet flowers grown in my garden.
Two bouquets I'll make, for Mary, for her dear son,
Of laurel, jasmine, tulips bright, of fragrant roses, red and white.

In a dance join, and each one shall dance a galliard.
Noels we'll all sing, gay Noels on a jews harp.
His hand I'll kiss. Beside his bed three rolls I'll leave of fine white bread.

5. LAST NIGHT CAME A HOST (Provencal: 1570-1610)

Last night came a host of angels, angels in celestial chorus.
"Gloria" their song resounded; they called: "Come, awake! Eh la!
Run in haste, go seek that village, go see Mary's newborn son.
Run in haste, go seek that village, see the newborn son of Mary.

Wake! Go quickly down the mountains, each one with his friends and kindred.
Run in haste across the meadows, leap down valleys, leap o'er hills.
Hasten all to see our Lady, there adore her son most high;
Hasten all to see our Lady, there adore her son, and give thanks.

My gift I'll bring to his mother, well filled warming pan for cold days.
Cheese I'll bring, Saint Joseph's present, Janeton will bring a lamb.
Then a well filled plate you'll carry, filled with porridge they'll enjoy.
Then a well filled plate you'll carry, bring them porridge, bring a full plate.

CAROL CHOIR

V

THE FIRST NOWELL

The first Nowell the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.

This star drew nigh to the northwest,
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest,
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell.
Born is the King of Israel.

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far,
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Then enter'd in there wise men three,
Full rev'rently upon their knee,
And offer'd there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense.

The Whiffenpoofs of 1973

When five Yale Glee Club undergraduates decided to pass Monday evenings at Mory's Temple Bar in 1909, probably not even the most optimistic of them envisaged the Whiffenpoofs as they thrive today. Fourteen members of Yale's Senior class, selected from the informal singing groups, carry on the name and ever-increasing musical repertoire of one of America's finest singing traditions. As the sixty-fourth group to bear the name, the Whiffenpoofs of 1973 have strong ties with their predecessors based on the common bond of close friendship through good song.

This year's Whiffs came into existence on Tap Night, the twenty-fourth of April, 1972, an exuberant and costumed trek through the colleges in which the chosen Juniors were dragged from their rooms and initiated with song and celebration. Serious rehearsals began in early September when the group met in Madison, Conn. for two weeks of intensive practice. Then the comrades returned to Yale for a season of constant concerts, among them the ninth annual Whiffenpoof Jamboree, numerous appearances with the Yale Glee Club, two weeks in Bermuda, countless concerts at Yale and other universities, including the Sherwood Jamboree at Cornell, and the usual round of alumni gatherings, restaurants, and private parties at country clubs and hotels.
