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
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
Born is the King of Israel
They looked up and saw a star
Shinin' 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
This star drew night to the north-west
Over 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
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 heavenly Lord
Who 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 shepherds 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
Shinin' 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
This star drew night to the north-west
Over 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
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 heavenly Lord
Who hath made heaven and earth of nought
And with his blood, mankind hath bought
Nowell, nowell, nowell, nowell
Born is the King of Israel
