What Child, Nowell
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What Child is this who laid to rest
on Mary's lap is sleeping?
Whom Angels greet with anthems
sweet
while shepherds watch are keeping
This is winter's gift
This is what begins
"Nowell, Nowell, Nowell"
Every voice was singing
"Nowell, Nowell, Nowell
Born this day a new
Nowell, Nowell, Nowell"
What child is this who now awakes in
every heart each morning?
From dazzling light through silver sky
bring peace now from creation
