Traditional feat. Choir of King's College, Cambridge, Francis Grier & Philip Ledger -
Carols from King's College, Cambridge
Traditional: The First Nowell (Arr. Stainer & Ledger)
The first Nowell, the angels did say
Was to certain poor shephards in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
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
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
The star drew nigh to the north-west
O'er Betlehem 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
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there, in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our hevenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with His blood, mankind hath bought
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Was to certain poor shephards in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
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
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
The star drew nigh to the north-west
O'er Betlehem 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
Then entered in those wise men three
Full reverently upon their knee
And offered there, in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our hevenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with His blood, mankind hath bought
Nowell, Nowell
Nowell, Nowell
Born is the King of Israel
