A carol-singer could ‘lie in wait’.

And I didn’t spot the theme either, despite getting all parts of it – agree that ‘First’ = GOLD.

I failed to notice the theme, so missed GOLD. With the somewhat weak ‘Goliath – part’ for GOL, I would have appreciated a definition – I suppose it’s just ‘first’, as the gifts are usually listed in the order ‘gold, frankincense and myrrh’. To rhyme with Gyrrh!

Another great themed puzzle!
